Advice & Tips
Cannot take antacids within 2 hrs of taking pill, so if you have acid reflux, GERD etc it can be difficult to time or coordinate. If I skip a treatment I start to experience pain/stiffness within hours. Helped with sleep more at the beginning then it does now, but still helps.

Advice & Tips
At first it seemed to put me into a deep sleep and if awoken before my eight hours was up I would feel extremely groggy, confused, & off-balance. Then I began to notice a marked decline in my ability to communicate. It was more and more difficult to form sentences, keep track of time (e.g. hours, days, weeks). I also experienced a disturbing distortion of taste in dishes using almonds. Since I am a writer and take pride in my ability to articulate myself, this is a most disheartening and disturbing turn to the range of side effects that I could experience.

Helps to manage pain well, but may not be tolerated well by everyone. I notice perhaps more memory issues since taking Neurontin again.
