Re: question about Gabapentin

Absolutely. Initially I reduced my day dose to 100mg and took 300 at night.

I now take 300 mg twice daily with no ill effects that I am aware of.

In the beginning I was a zomby.

I adapted and find it helps relieve a lot of pain.

I have just started taking Gabapentin for nerve pain, and am so dizzy and

sleepy! I'm wondering if any of you have taken this, and do you adjust to the

drug so that the dizziness and sleepiness goes away?

Thanks in advance

It took me about a week to get used to it. At first if I took it and tried to

walk I'd fall on my face.

Yep, about a week to get rid of the " stupids " and then you will be fine. I just

switched to Lyrica, hoping I do not have to go through another period of of CRS.

Oh and if works for you, it's a great thing.

This is neorontin right? I take it 3 times a day, 600 mg. I was on 800 at one

time but my doc reduced it a while ago. We've tried other meds but this one

works the best for me even though it doesn't work compleatly. I've never had any

side effects.
