with the symptoms (Klonopin for the tremors and muscle/nerve pain, and Tylenol
3 for pain). I also started on Zoloft, an anti-depressant, that has really
given me the ability to refocus and cope with my injuries. Hope that helps.>>

Thanks Kevin, it does help. Again today I felt dopey and sleepy (but not
grumpy!) until mid-afternoon. I have decided that I can't take Neurontin--at
least not now. I guess I would have to give it a try while I was on vacation
if I really need it. I can't function at work like this. It would be hard
for me to write court reports, etc. when all I can do is yawn and sleep.
