Dear Louise,

I have been taking Neurontin for months and I can't say as it has helped my neuropathic feet at all. When I first experienced the neruropathy the only thing that helped was Vicodan. I do think Neurontin has helped my mood some combined with Effexor.

I miss the feeling in my feet since I am a "shoe" person. That being said, the best thing I found to help my feet is wearing
Crocs - ugly as heck, but they REALLY help my feet. Weight gain has not been an issue with Neurontin for me.

The other thing that I do is have pedicures at a salon where they massage my feet and legs really well - I always feel better after that.

Best to luck finding something that works for you!
