That is a good choice for chronic pain, but I am already on 2 drugs to control epilepsy, and I cannot add a 3rd. I was on neurontin for epilepsy, but it didn't control my seizures, so I had to go off it to go on the topamax/trileptal combo. The problem is you can't be on all 3, so since neurontin doesn't work for my seizures, it's out for pain too. Thanks for the idea though,
