So any of you on it? Like it?

Kris,

I was on Neurontin for quite some time. It was given to me for neuropathic

pain involving a back problem I have. It did help with the pain, but at

relatively low doses even it knocked me out. Every time I would take it I

would go to sleep for a long period of time. I also noticed while taking it

that I had jerking on my limbs. I would only take it if my pain were

excruciating because I knew that it would knock me out and I couldn't

function.

gentle hugs,

Sundra

I take just 1200mg of Neurontin, thought I have been told by the docs I may take

lots more if I needed to. It has stopped my neuropathy burning and shooting

pains. I still have pins and needles and pain from the neuropathy but as the

present dose makes le sleepy I don't want to up it. No other obvious adverse

affects.

My doctor told me that everyone has their own threshold with Neurontin whereupon

they get dopey!! Mine is very low *sigh*.. anything makes me dopey.. but there

isn't too far to go,lol. Antihistamines used to completely knock me out, and

amitryptiline does the same thing. You must be more sensible to start with:)
