Let me try to address wiced and Mrs. at same time. Neurontin helped me a lot and quickly. Much better then the pain meds as mine was for pain. However, I have taken self off slowly as w/pain meds and am aldo doing the active Lipoic acid. It was recommended by my guy at the vits and herb shop. He said that you can rebuild nerves in your body and that neurontin is ultimately hard on the liver. He stated people with severe neropathy have taken it and gotten much better. And I believe it. I am having aq high pain day from sewing on machine and the pain is near back fracture in T5T6. Neurontin would and did help that feel better, this is my first attach there in a long time.

Neurontin is an old and pretty safe drug. So is accupuncture if you can afford it. Spouse had chronic vertigo and that helped him forever! Good luck to you all with the nerve questions.

Additionally, no one asked but here are other things I am taking to help with nerve pain, rebuilding and for muscle spasms. L Argentine, free form of Amino acid, zyflemed p.m. herbal anti inflamitory. I am taking A, D, E as well. I feel so much better then I have, disreguarding my back pain now.
