It worked well for me.. 6 months and no pain.. problem was I was also
on lyrica and both of them combined caused some serious effects I
couldn't handle. so I was taken off it.. it's different for every
person. Also give it a good 2-3 weeks before it's fully beneficial
when I first started out I thought it didn't work about 2 1/2 weeks
later I woke up with no nerve pain..

Wow! No nerve pain? I can't even imagine what that must feel like. I can't
remember what it is like to NOT have pain. It's weird. I tried the Topomax,
but got no relief from it.
