In reply to Neurontin for pain depression?, posted by anita on June 28, 2000, at 17:55:23
> Hi,

> I have TMJ-like pain and my doc suggested Neurontin. For those of you who have tried it, does it work for _severe_ pain, or only for mild to moderate chronic pain? And did it affect depression at all, or make you less emotional?

> anitai can help with this one anita, through work i came across a lady who had 7 years of unremitting pain, marriage broke up ,lost her job, depressed very bad. i suggested her doc prescribe neurontin, the doc did and 3 days later 85% of her pain went, only side effect was sleepiness for about 2 weeks, then it went, no emotional affect negatively at all just good stuff, shes now back at work!
hope its as good for you
