I have a friend that was on it for shingles. She didn't find much relief from it but she was in undescribable agony. Nothing really helped her besides time--she just had to ride it out. I have another friend that takes Lyrica(spelling?). Apparently it's the only thing they've found for her that reaches the nerve endings and reduces her terrible pain. Does anyone know if Neurontin and Lyrica are on the same line?
