Best Generic Brand Of Neurontin (gabapentin)

My pharmacy has recently stopped carrying Actavis generic Neurontin 100 mg. They also said they "could not order Actavis for me". So, I ended up purchasing the Brand Neurontin. My insurance picked up some but it was still $$$. Now that I've tried the brand it seems to work better at neuropathic pain control. Just wondering in May 2015 if anyone in the USA has found a generic Neurontin that they really like or works for them? I live in a small area with very few pharmacy options other than 2 big box chains. The monopoly works to their advantage as they rarely ever will 'order' any generic a person asks for. You tend to have to take whatever they are pushing that month. Picking up a script is like playing "musical chairs", every month or two a pill is a different color, shape and manufacturer. Whatever they can get for the cheapest. Thanks.

Tiffany, I have discovered the same problem. It seems everyone stopped using Actavis. Afterward, I started noticing heart irregularities with other brands. My insurance, tricare, refuses to pay for neurontin. The money is huge. I have had to stop the med. I made an appeal to insurance to cover Neurontin. They claim that "gabapentin is rated a grade A drug and there has not been other complaints about it. What a joke! I'm still looking. Let me know if you find any pharmacy that still carries Actavis. You might call them and ask too.

Same type issues. Taken Neurontin for years, works great, but price even w/insurance is $125.00. Tried couple generics and get rash. Trying to find generic as close to Neurontin formula as possible. Hard to figure out.

Tiffany,

I want to start with saying that every person will react to medication differently. While it isn't bad to have a starting point from asking others it does not necessarily mean their choices will work best for you. Each brand will have the same active ingredient but often they have varying inactive ingredients and that can make a world of difference with how your body reacts. The best course of action is always to to keep an open line of communication with your primary care physician and discuss how each medication effects you positively or negatively.

The medical industry is vast and ever changing but from from an end user perspective it can sometimes be infuriating to deal with the constant ebb and flow of medications. It can be increasingly difficult when you live in a low population where the choices for medical professionals and facilities are limited.

I hope this helps and that you find a medication brand that works well with your body.

Greenstone Limited is a great generic for Gabapentin! Ask your pharmacist to get this brand in for you. Very effective, and a sister company of Pfizer.
