HI FROM ALASKA. I HAVE BEEN ON NEURONTIN FOR 2 YRS AND NOW I CANNOT BE

WITHOUT IT. WHEN YOU FIRST START TAKING IT YOU FEEL A SICK FEELING UNTIL IT

KICKS IN AND THIS MAY TAKE A WEEK OR TWO. I NOTICED I COULD SLEEP BETTER AT

NIGHT. I TAKE 2-300MGS 3 TIMES A DAY. I AM GOING TO HAVE A NEUROSTIMULATOR

(A SYSTEM THAT IS SURGICALLY IMPLANTED UNDER THE SKIN TO SEND MILD

ELECTRICAL IMPULSES TO A PERIPHERAL NERVE). I HAVE SEVERE MIGRAINE HEADACHES

AND I ALREADY HAD A TRIAL IMPLANT AND IT WORKED,,,,,I HAD NO HEADACHES FOR 5

DAYS.....I WILL HAVE IT PERMANENTLY IMPLANTED ON THE 29th. I HAVE HAD RP FOR

24 YEARS AND IT REALLY HAS CHANGED MY LIFE AROUND I AM TOTALLY DISABLED I

HAVE HAD 26 ORTHOPEDIC SURGERIES THANKS TO THIS UGLY DIDEASE. I HAVE GONE

THRO' IT ALL AND AM GETTING SO I CANNOT TAKE IT ANYMORE. THIS IS JUNE IN

ALASKA I HOPE I CAN HELP.
