Neurontin

I will be starting neurontin for the peripheral neuropathy in my feet and hands. I need to do it as being on my feet too long is painful, and I need to go back to work. does anybody have any experience with this drug.? they tell me a small does may be effective, I am not crazy about being on any more meds. I was hoping they would tell me it will get better soon, but they said it could be 2 or 3 years. Yay!
