My PCP has recommended Neurontin (gabapentin) for my chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN). I researched this drug but found no references to CIPN, just diabetic neuropathy in the feet. I would like some relief for the neuropathy in my hands.
If anyone here has used Neurontin for CIPN, please let me know how effective it was.
