Hey everybody! I just had a quick question... I was given a Rx for neurontin today, filled it, and now I'm wondering whatto expect and how this will work? What it does I guess? It's myfirstnight and I haven't taken it yet, I'm concerned about the side effects especially with all the othermeds at bedtime(ambien, zanaflex,ibuprohin,and something else I can't remember LOL Any info would be appreciated! hope every one is well tonight!

I take neurontin. I have for about 10 years. I think but am not sure but it might make me sleepy at night. But sometimes I have to take during the day and I am fine.

It is my guess that if you are taking it at night and you get sleepy it is ok.

I would ask your pharmacist though if you are concerned about drug interactions.

Hope this helps.

God BLess.

My doctor put me on Neurontin about a year or two ago. I'm on a fairly low dose (600mg) but I have noticed one change. The one change I have noticed is that I sleep through the night now. I used to wake up repeatedly, so actually being able to sleep through the night has been a big improvement. Now if only it would help me sleep deeply....

As for the side effects, I personally haven't noticed any. I have no problem taking it with ibuprofen. You should check with your pharmacist regarding the other meds, just like 2cats suggested.

I am on neurontin and am on all but the ambien. No drug interactions. My daughter take ambien and neurontin w/o any problems. Hope it helps you.It really helped my one shoulder.

ruby I hope the neurontin is helping you. I used to take it & was up to 2400mg, then the pain doc gave me Lyrica & dummy me was taking both at the same time

I think I found out a month or two later I wasn't suppose to be taking both - no wonder I felt pretty good

I now ask all my doctors to write the stuff down for me or watch me write it out.

Tried it. It made me so very tired. I hated it and it did not work. But everyone is different. Hope it works for you!
