Re: PER: Thanx & Potpourri of comments :') Neurontin

[Guest guest]

, from jeanann

I was on neurontin for about two years. The doctors started out with 300 mg

and had me keep increasing it until I could not feel the pain in my legs.

1800 mg seemed to work for me. I gained 20 pounds and the neurontin seemed

to make my mind fuzzy and I seemed to not have control of my mouth. I

decided to go off the neurontin on my own and a lot of the pain did not come

back and I lost 26 puns without even trying. Lately I seem to need something

again so my doctor suggested that I go back on neurontin again, so I am

taking one 300 mg at bedtime. I also use a cream called Zostrix HP (over the

counter drug) for the pain I have in my heels. At my last EMG I have

nothing below the knees and they are very numb. I do ware AFO's. I always

took a nap but not sleeping well at night. Now I force myself to not nap and

do sleep much better at night.
