I have been taking Neurontin for 4 months, to combat pain due to Fibromyalgia. I have had extremely good luck with it for pain. The anti-anxiety component is a nice side-effect for me, but I was given this prescription for pain. I am able to live pain-free because of this med. If I miss my middle dose of the day, I start to feel slightly sore, about 6 hours later. Taking the 3rd/last dose of the day at that time causes the pain to subside. It has been a world of difference for me, and the longer I take it, the less pain I'm in. The dose I take is 300mg, 3x per day. If I didn't take this, I would have to walk around with 12 hour Lidoderm patches (Lidocain) applied to various body parts, which is extremely unattractive! :)HaHa!
