I really like this medicine, as it has helped with lumbar stinosis. I am currently taking three 300 mg pills three times a day, but have swelling in my feet and ankles. My doctor prescribed a strong water pill and potassium for me, and said to play around with the pills, and see if I can still get relief taking less. I'm going to cut back one pill a day, until I'm taking two three times a day.. ... Show Full Comment

I'm going to cut back one pill a day, until I'm taking two three times a day...if I start hurting again, I'll go back to three 3 times a day, as it really helps with the pain...but I hate the swelling. So, this is a work in progress!

Through numerous diagnostic tests, a process of elimination pointed to the cause being a side effect of a chemotherapy drug (vincristine) used in my cancer care. I did some research and asked my GP to prescribe Neurontin. Once we gradually raised the dose to 300 mg. 3 X a day, the pain almost disappeared. I really can't say that I've had any side effects from it, but considering that chemo induced neuropathic pain can continue for 2 years post chemo, I am beyond thankful to have discovered Neurontin.
