I am finally getting about 5-6 hours sleep/night with 800 mg. of motrin and 300 mg. of neurontin at bedtime for the first time in years, but the neurontin sure wipes out sex, even with this small dose. It's like nothing happens for me and I just hate it. I don't want to make a choice between being able to sleep and being able to make love but it's kind of coming down to that. One friend switched to topamex and it solved her problem but I've tried it on two occasions to switch to topamex and it makes me itch and also kept me awake all night so had to return to neurontin. My Dr. sent me home with a sample of viagra to try but I see it has citrate in it and I was afraid to try it as calcium citrate sends me over the edge with pain. Neurontin also makes me pack about 7lbs. of fluid too so I hate the way I look. Anyone have any other ideas?

Hey, Dianne, no ideas but I'm glad you are able to get some sleep! Is the almond milk still helping a bit, I hope so?


Blessings, Lori

Yes, I have total and complete control of urethral pain if I drink 8 oz. of almond milk every 8 hours. It just doesn't help the bladder pain, strictly urethral.
