Brief Answer: Experiencing adverse effect of Neurontin. Detailed Answer: Hi, I have gone through your query. You are suffering from Neuropathy and Neurontin (Gabapentin) is first choice of treatment. Gabapentin is Anticonvulsant and effective in treatment of Neuropathic pain. However, as you are on increasing dosage of it, you are experiencing its adverse effect. There are other medicines which help in relieving nerve pain. 1. Anticonvulsant: other than Gabapentin, Pregabalin can be tried. Carbamazepin can be used but its more effective in Trigeminal Neuralgia. 2. Antidepressants : Tricyclic antidepressants like amitriptyline, nortriptyline, and desipramine. These are more effective in treating nerve pain than SNRIs. 3. Opioids like methadone can be used. You can reduce the dose of gabapentin if you can tolerate nerve pain. This will reduce your symptoms of agitation and drowsiness. But remember not stop it abruptly as it will cause withdrawal symptoms. Above mentioned medicines are 'prescription only' medicines and can only be started by your treating doctors. You can consult them mentioning adverse effect and other medicines which you can tolerate well. Every Medicine has its own adverse effect. Hope I have answered your query. If you have any further questions I will be happy to help.
