, LOL gosh girl, you sound like me. I only too 200mg... can't imagine

what your dose would have done to me... I'm just glad to see i'm not the only

one who reacted that way. BUT, let me tell you now... my body has adjusted

to it and I am feeling good. I even added a pill during the day and I will

increase the dose on that one slowly too. Ask your dr for 100mg pills and

see if that helps.

I was ready to give up too. I couldn't stand that drugged feeling. I'm the

same way, I was a really cheap date too. LOL

I'm sorry you scared so many people... Gosh, you must have had them all

worried to death. Hang in there, you will find something that works. I'm

glad I didn't give up on it. I can see a difference already on my baby dose.

LOL

Know I'm thinking of you.....now just stay out of trouble. lOL

hugs

Goodness ...did your doctor proscribe that high of a dose for you? If so you need to give him hell about that one. I started on 300 mg three times a day. You may want to check and see if that other medication you took with it can cause drowsiness...the combination as well at the high dose of the Neurontin may have been the cause of it knocking you out like that.

-- NANCY'S NEURONTIN EPISODE

Hey I am finally awake enough to tell yall about my Neurontin episode. Mine came in 400mg capsules and I took my first the other night. I also took my Ambien and bextra at the same time. The following day my friends, sister ,husband and my dads home therapist all said they were ringing my phone off the hook. Finally at 11:20 my granddog(a pit bull will tell you that story later) pushed me out of the bed onto the floor. He had to go outside and I guess he kept trying to wake me and finally had enough.HAHA My dad never answered the phone, never went to see why the dog was barking his head off and missed his morning pills and breakfast. The therapist called the social worker because she was worried, she usually comes at 9:30 .My husband was getting out of a meeting and he said if I hadnt answered the phone he was on his way home. Kim was out of town or she would have already been over bugging me for the day.haha I told my husband I almost was turned over to the adult protection service over a stupid pill.hahaha Well my husband forbids me to take another one. He said he thought it was odd that I didnt budge when he kissed me bye but figured I was finally getting the sleep I desperately needed. I am very sensitive to pain meds. even when I would have my back surgeries I always said I would rather the pain than living in a fog.My husband says I have always been a cheap date. Just the smell of the cork and I am hanging from the chandilier. HAHAHAInstead of the sleep helping the pain, I woke up feeling worse because I must have stayed knocked out in one position for to long. I am constantly up and down all night and tossing and turning (sounds like one of my favorite oldies song haha) so my body is constantly changing positions. Oh well fibro, RP, arthirits you name it this old body has it and I guess thats what they call LIFE!
