I have horrible nerve pain in my right leg from the knee down into my foot after laminectomy and diskectomy 8 months previously. I began taking Neurontin, and experienced dizziness, lack of coordination the first week or two, but a dramatic decrease in the numbness, tingling and pain in my leg and foot. I have stopped taking Neurontin because of stomach pain, bloating, dyspepsia, really miserable, this was while I was on 40mg of Prilosec. I am now on Amytriptyline. It helps somewhat, but not nearly as much as the Neurontin. I am frustrated, because I don't know how to live with this constant distracting and painful condition. It's difficult to walk because of the severe pain in the ball of my right foot. I would really like to take the Neurontin, because I saw such improvement with it, but there always seems to be a side effect that makes it impossible to take a drug that helps. Same with anti-inflammatories, that also rip my stomach apart. Please help with any suggestions. Dukes
