Sizuraze? What?

Gabapentin (neurontin) is used for neuropathic pain. This is an off-label use that is very common. For example, diabetics with peripheral neuropathy, or people with post-herpetic neuralgia from shingles.

In recent years, Lyrica (pregabalin) was made specifically to treat nerve pain and works similarly to gabapentin. Nerve pain is generally described as tingling, burning, electric, or pins and needles. Drugs like these are generally considered ineffective against other types of pain.
