After just 2 weeks I had very bad side effects. mood swings, aggitation, my pain level doubled, and I was sleeping so much, sometimes 14 hours a day! My Dr. took me off of it. I just take Tramadol and Lortab, Effexor and xanax now. Which is more than enough!!
My mom tried the Melatonin again and she said she's had the best sleep she's had in a long time.
I hated Neurontin and will NEVER take it again. Horrible, horrible, horrible for me.
It was causing weight gain and it would have been too pricey ($125/3 month supply) to continue to take it as it was a Tier 3 on my insurance plan. It did stop the morning pain and if it were my only med option, probably would have just bitten the bullet and paid the $$$. However, there are several less expensive options available that do not cause the weight gain.
Good luck.
