Lesa,

What amount of neurontin do you take? I take MS Contin...or oral morphine but was also taking Neurontin....900mg 3x's a day. Your amounts can even go higher. That seemed to be an effective combination...until I went into kidney failure. The doctor stopped the neurontin for fear of side affects. Now I really suffer with a lot of pain.
