Here's an interesting article about new pain-relief medicines being developed from Cone Snail venom:
http://news.discovery.com/human/snai...painkiller.htm
Non-addictive & highly effective, 100x more effective than Morphine (which isn't any good for neuropathic pain anyway...)
As someone who will probably be taking Gabapentin forever (and who dislikes the side-effects) I cheer the development of these new treatments. Yay science!
It looks like an intracathel version is already FDA approved for people with pumps, but that the new oral meds in development are coming along nicely.
