Hi Dale,
Thank you for correcting me. I agree 100% with what you've written. I made a hasty generalization about these kinds of treatments. There is a reason they are prescribed, not only do they...

Thanks
I have drowsiness for a couple hours if I take 600mg at once, otherwise I'm not having side effects at 900mg/day. It seems to take the edge off most of my pain generators.

Neurotin Anyone?
This med seems to be working for me. I'm really happy about it. After one month I'm still on a low dose of 900mg/day (3600mg/day is max).

I'm not seriously considering fusing at L5S1 yet but I've thought about it enough to conclude I'd rather have the adr removed. I get the impression that not many docs want to mess with the...
