I have been hesitant about joining in on
this discussion since my experience with Nerontin was so brief. But it
was not good.
I was only on it for 10 days.
During that 10 day period I was ramping up the dose as recommended. In fact I
slowed it down a bit since I was having such a bad time of it. It made
me feel drunk or stoned even before I got to the full dose.
It did nothing to reduce or remove the pain in
my hands which is why I tried it. And the worst thing is it made me dull
and also took away my memory. Luckily I wrote down all the things that were
happening. But as for recalling them they were lost. They were lost in
fact DURING the time I was on the drug. On Friday I could not remember
anything that happened on Thursday and before that either. So it was NOT
a good experience for me.
I have no advice for you just this experience
to share.

OK, I have read about neurontin, requip, and
lyrica.
It is true the neurontin seems scary,
since it's mostly a seizure med. I take a low dosage and it does seem to
lessen my sensations at night and help me sleep, tho not all the way thru
any more.
Requip, I am not sure of yet, It
sounds promising, tho I don't have true restless legs, just numb, tingly,
burning,the vibration/adrenaline feeling.....
The Lyrica, is a diabetic med? also for
seizures?
So I ask, if I am not prone to diabetes or
seizures, isn't there something to take milder/ safer for these nerve
sensations that keep you awake at night?
