It is a generic for Neurontin, which is prescribed as an anti-seizure med, but off label is prescribed
for nerve pain. It usually takes higher doses
for nerve pain. I was taking 900 mg per day, 3 am, 3 noon, and 3 nightly. Now I take 3 at night and 2 during the day. I am on other pain meds to help with the pain from 2-level cervical disc herniation and multi-level DDD and radiculopathy in my arm, hand, back and leg.
