Hi Jameson,
I'm in the UK and have about 6 years experience of Neurontin.  The actual generic name that you will be supplied is usually Gabapentin, not the more expensive trade named version.  I started on 300mg per day and slowly over a period of about a month went to 1800mg per day.
For me there were only one or two side effects.  1/ I found as the dose went higher (in my case I ended up on 4000mg per day (no that is not a typing error!) my speech was very 'stammery' and not easy to understand and 2/ The other one was some loss of libido at the very high doses.
Now I'm back to 2400mg per day.  I did go lower but the chronic got even more painful, so in my case it does seem as if Gabapentin does have some beneficial effect.
It's a well tried drug and so I can only suggest giving it a go.  Best of luck and try everything they offer you.
