I was diagnosed 20 years ago and was put immediately on Neurontin (Gabapentin). I titrated up to 6X300 mg capsules nightly and have followed that successfully since. Now my MD has 'lost' his knowledge of the prescription and cannot find empirical evidence that Neurontin is appropriate for Per Neur. Does anybody know of a licensed specialist in Minnesota that can advise him? My original guy was a neurologist who later retired and died.

Hello @etipton9756, Welcome to Connect. There is another discussion where your question will receive more visibility. I'm tagging our moderator @ethanmcconkey to see if we should move your post to the following discussion where you can meet other members using Gabapentin to treat their neuropathic pain.

I'm not familiar with Per Neur. Are you referring to peripheral neuropathy? Can you call your healthcare provider or primary care doctor to see if they can give you a referral for a neurologist?

Here's a search tool for finding a neurologist in your area on the Foundation for Peripheral Neuropathy's website:

@etipton9756
What kind of information are you looking for?
Like John mentioned, are you referring to Neuropathy or do you have a Seizure disorder or are you taking it for back or other pain issues?
