As have I, for the last six years.

Or comfort and make life worth living again. Many find the drug to have few side effects, and it may allow one to avoid taking up with the opiates (an even nastier class of drugs if one is worried about safety and complications). Even aspirin or NSAIDS can kill. Neurontin is quite beneficial for treating specific types of pain. It's no fun trying to live on 2-3 hours of sleep per night, and believe it or not my brain was numbed no more than it had ever been. It's worth a try, given the alternatives.

> and IMHO, they're still looking for a proper (and safe!) use for it.

Try living inside a pain ridden carcass that you can't get out of. While having been risk avoidant, by profession in my previous life, there are some odds that I'm quite willing to accept given the specific benefits that this class of drugs provides to me.

> Be careful.

Always!
