Hi Sassy:
My oncologyst has just prescribed the Neurontin for my hot flashes, aches and pains. I am on 300 mg, and now on my 2 pills daily. I am still walking around in a daze until about noon or so. Sure do sleep well at night. I am concerned about the possible weight gain, as I surely do not need that. I was skeptical when she prescribed it. But decided to give it a try. So far so good as far as the hot flashes go. I am having a lot of hip pain, shoulder and neck. Also been having some dizzy spells and light headaches. Having an MRI on the 5th. of the brain and left shoulder. Not looking forward to the time in that tube.

Take care
Linda
