There is also a new drug out now, same effects as Neurontin (for neurological pain), but at a lower dose. Called Pregabalin (generic name), Lyrica is the trade name.
I am supposed to try it starting in December. I'll let you know what happens with that.

Re: neurontin question
Thanks for all your responses everyone. It's tough for me to know what is muscle pain and what is nerve pain because I've never had nerve pain before.Maybe this is what nerve pain is. My pain really is just everywhere, pretty much from the neck down my arm. I'm going to see what my BPI guy thinks on monday and go from there.
Thanks Becky
