The pain was like having electrodes attached to my toes and feet and in a split second you get zapped with a jolt that can bring tears to my eyes. I was unable to sleep at night, I would lie their in tears.

Pros:

None.

Cons:

Did not do a thing to help, doctors even tried three different strengths.

I am currently on this medication.

Pros:

Reduces some pain. Easier to sleep with this medication.

Cons:

There is a need to quickly increase your dosage and at 1200 mg 3 times a day, I am completely maxed and am still feeling the pain of nueropathy.
