Accepted Answer

The neurontin can cause sedation, especially in combination with the other drugs like prozac, abilify, and seroquel. Because it acts on the central nervous system, one has to ensure it does not make you over-sedated (especially with activities like driving).

However, neurontin is not really a medication for "pack pain" itself. It can help with some problems with "neuropathic pain", a pain more of a burning sensation in the arms and legs.

Of course, all medication recommendations need to be made by your own personal doctor.
