Re: [TMIC] Neurontin & Pain

[Carol]

My doctor did tell me to take it PRN (as needed), but not more than 3 times 
per day.  So if I only needed it once per day, only take it once.  Hope that 
clears that up.  He prescribed 600 mg and I cut it in half because I thought 
that was an awful lot.  So I have only taken 300 mgs on 2 separate nights 
and have not taken any more, because I have not had the burning itching pain 
again or should I say as BAD.

Dear Carol,

Neurontin is not a PRN (Take when needed) medicine. It is an anti-seizure 
med to be taken two or three times a day for weeks on end.

It sounds as if you need a new neurologist.

For your neuropathic pain you need something like Marinol or 
Dextromethorphan.

Hope this helps
