Hi
I also had severe headaches on the surgery side, from my ear up the side of my face to my temple and then wrapping around my left eye. I was diagnosed w/ neuralgia and was started on Neurontin 2 months ago.  At first I felt very fussy and distant. My doctor told me if I stick with it the feeling will go away. After about 3 wks the fussy/distant feeling went away and took the headaches with it.  I still have some headaches by not the severe pain I was having before. No weight gain with this medication.

Cheryl,

thats a pretty good result. I think most of us with residual headaches would take that. Good to hear some good news.
