This is the generic drug for Neurontin. I have taken it now for about six months and found it to work

Pros:

Works well for leg and foot pain, numbness and burning.

Cons:

One of the side effects is drowsiness. After your on it for a while you get used to it and not so drowsy.

I have been on 600mg at bedtime for pain in my legs and restless leg syndrome for couple of years and it most definitely helps. If I don't take it, have horrible leg cramps and pain that make it almost unbearable.

Pros:

Helps control severity of discomfort.

Cons:

Not aware of any side effects that are specific to this medication.
