NEURONTIN for Pain Control? HUH?
Question by Sarah Jeanne: NEURONTIN for pain control? HUH?
Has anyone ever used NEURONTIN for pain control? Has it worked for you and are there any side effects like taking narcotics to worry about? I have chronic period pains and my doctor just called this in for me. Maybe I shouldn’t use the internet; but was wondering how it worked in pain cases for other people.

NO, Neurontin should not be used for pain control. Some pain doctors use it for the “burning pain” of some conditions like CRPS aka RSD, etc.
I was on it for a short period of time before I found out that a whistle blower from the company that makes Neurontin came out and told the world that some doctors were being “paid off” to prescribe this drug for pain by the manufacturer of the drug.
Also it is only approved for the use of Epileptic Disorders; not for pain.
I would not recommend being on that for pain at all and would advise you to go to a medical archive on rsdhope.org to find the story I mentioned above.
The side affects of feeling out of it are far worse than any pain med I have been on. Usually the dose starts out low but is continually raised to the point where you are on more than 1000mgs a day or more.
