Neuropathy: Anyone have any experience with gabapentin?

When I set up my first appointment with my pain specialist I was told that he wouldn't prescribe. My PCP already had me on ms contin. The pain specialist did suggest meds to my PCP for a while, but eventually he did start prescribing for me, and if what he prescribed reduced my pain, he passed the prescription over to my PCP after I was taking the target dosage. The psychiatrist follows the same procedure.
I have a concern that when my PCP retires his replacement won't let me continue my meds.

Retirement of physicians who have been working with you successfully for many years is a huge and legitimate concern. My doctor is over 70 and still going strong, but he won't go on forever. My pain specialist is AWESOME and young, very dedicated and a knowledgeable perfectionist. I hope he doesn't move out of this area.
