I take Gabapentin/Neurontin 2700mg a day and I just started taking Topamax,right now I am at 50mg a day working towards the 100mg's my neuro wants me on. I had some sleepy, dizzy side effects from the Gabapentin when I first started but that went away after about 2 weeks now I have no side effects. I can't take Lyrica,due to some really horrific side effects for me, so I'll stick with the Neurontin.
May the sun bring you new energies by day,
May the moon softly restore you by night ,
May the rain wash away any worries you may have,
And the breeze blow new strength into your being,
And then,all the days of your life,
May you walk gently through the world,and know it’s beauty and yours.

No I have had no side effects from Neurontin... It has helped me some with my symptoms... sometimes they need to adjust the dosage to get to a level that helps you

I take it and when I was on a lower dose of 600mg at bedtime it didn't help me much, I am now taking 1800mg at bedtime and I still don't notice that much of a difference but it is better than a sharp stick in the eye and I do notice somewhat of a change maybe it is that I can sleep now but then again..that could be all the other drugs I am on now days too!


THIS is not all in my head, and NO I am not crazy!
the bra seems to be my mortal enemy, a weird 19th century torture device most obviously designed by a man!
