I have it at times. My doc gave me an Rx for Gabapentin (Neurontin). It is very effective for me. One of the warnings on it is that it "may make you drowsy"...which it does. I would never take it during the waking hours. In fact, if I don't take it by 9PM I won't take it all because it makes me groggy in the AM, and that's at 350mg, and at my weight I have been advised by the doc that I could take TWO of them. Never have.

Having said all of that, 2 Advil also works fantastically well for me, without the morning fog.

Good luck with this, it's a real bother when it gets kicking.
