If the neurontin is not working then your dosing is not correct. My Dr actually called the company that makes the cool sculpt and found out that the recommended dose is 300mg. Nothing else can work properly because of the way the cool Scuplt machine is designed to work. The second treatment I started neurontin right away and did not wait for the pain to set in, it was much better than the first treatment.
I know people who have had no pain at all. One of the Drs in my practice had it a week before me and she was in terrible pain as was I. It was debilitating to me and I have had 4 kids including twins without pain. My Dr called Zeltiq and found that the dose of neurontin that he had prescribed was too low. When he uped the dose from 100 mg to 300 mg I felt much better within a few hours. Prior to that I was in bed all weekend. The nurse who performed this on me ran 5 miles on day 5, glad that not everyone has the pain.
I spoke to my Dr who had also experienced the pain. He called the Cool Scuplt company and apparently the dosing of the neurontin/gabapentin needs to be increased from 100mg to 300 mg. as soon as we increased I felt a ton better quickly.
