Guest guest Posted March 29, 2006 Report Share Posted March 29, 2006 Hi Gail, I saw you on a recent list as a new member, so welcome to the group. We have one other regular poster, " Titch " from the UK...we continue to share our experiences worldwide...wow. I hope you will tell us a little more about yourself when you can. I assume, and I may be wrong, that you have, or suspect you are having pain related to your old scoliosis fusion and that is one of the reasons you are on Neurontin? I am not on it myself..but in a recent discussion about various medications I went on an " internet hunt " and located a document put out by the American Chronic Pain Assoc. which is one of the most comprehensive, easy to read documents that lists most of the medications I see people mention here most frequently. You can access it from the " links " section on the left hand column of the main site. If you look around page 25-26 you will see that they state that Neurontin was originally created as an anti-seizure medication. It was later recognized as effective in controlling pain in folks who had ongoing pain from shingles. In the US it is also used " off label " to control neuropathic (nerve) pain. Hopefully you can look up your other meds there too...they list generic names too..which is good because they are marketed under different names in the UK. Hope this helps, Cam <c777joe@...> wrote: > > Hi Cam > I was given Neurontin, I think...Gabapentin, I was given the highest dose.
