Advice & Tips:
Probably cuts 85% of nerve pain. Would rather not continue to take this as it is an epilepsy drug and am wondering what it is doing to my brain. New York is on the Opiod bandwagon and all doctors are afraid of prescribing anything other than hydrocodone. I would rather take Percocet and cut 95% of all my nerve pain and not take this anymore.

Advice & Tips:
I found myself in an ever-deepening slow cognitive decline from this medication. I've had several doctors corroborate this. It was getting so bad that I had to stop driving for safety reasons. I felt that I had to stop this medication if I wanted my mind to stay sharper.
