Hi Stkatesgirl,

Sorry I haven't gotten back to you. In regards to using Neurontin, I used it for about 3 years and had a real bad reaction to it. I was told I couldn't use it or any drug in that class because it could be fatal next time. I do use topamax for migraines and advert & shots it they get real bad.

Let me know, if you know of anything else. I hope your RSD is under control. The pain gets so bad at times, I just can't handle it.

Thank you,

Cindy

Have you tried Neurontin? or Gabapentin which is the generic for Neurontin? I ask because I too have RSD and I am on 300 mg of Neurontin 3x a day to help control the pain.  Neurontin can be given safely in dosesages of up to 900 mg 3x a day without causing liver failure or other organ failure. Topamax is great for migraines, but it won't work on RSD pain... My neurologist explained it as Neurontin is more for neural pain, and topamax is better for constrictions of blood vessels which is what happens in migraines and changing the nerves.

Let me know,
