None, I was given Gabapentin 300mg to be taken three times daily, I have been taken them to try and free a trap nerve near to my spine for the past three weeks, quite frankly, it did not make a slight difference. As I said before, try exercise.

There are many drugs which may help neuropathic pain, I have tried most of them. You have to be patient in trying to find one or a combination which suit you. Unfortunately you will probably experience a few of the unwanted side effects along the way. Keep trying.

Take pregabelin and Cymbalta plus maxitram . Combination of all 3 do help but do not take pain away. Also take Vitamin B100 for pins and needles pain and also find Mega Benfotiamine 250mg helpful too.

Hi I take gabapentin and was on mst. (Morphine). Then my pain specialist transferred me from mst to physeptone(methadone) tablets. I was scared but they work better for nerve pain. I take oramorph for break through pain. Good luck.
