Barbara and all ~
I've been on Neurontin for months now.
I take two at bedtime. If the pain in my back gets severe during the
day, I will take an extra one. So far I haven't had any problems doing
this.
I also take Tylox for the pain as needed.
They are like Percocets but have more acetaminophen in them.

Bob,

Did you mean tinkling or tingling? :-)
Both apply in my case!

Seriously, my attitude toward drugs is the same as yours. That is one reason I
don't want to be on anything all the time if I can help it. But does anyone
know of any drug taken for TM or MS that can be taken only on an as-needed
basis when symptoms flare up worse than "usual" for short periods of time?
