I have been taking Gabapentin (the generic for Neurontin) for about a good month now. I started with 300 mg, then went to 600 mg two weeks later, and now I am at 900 mg (with plans to up it one or two more times). I spread the dosage out throughout the day as is prescribed.
I sleep much of the day and night away. I am up total about 4-6 hours, and when I am, I am mindless. I am dizzy, exhausted, and unable to think clearly. (I wonder if my posts and emails make sense and if I am ticking anyone off. Hee. Hope not.)
Anywho, I thought these side effects were supposed to go away with continued use. How much more usage do I need before I can live normally?
I don't want to stop taking it because it is actually helping with the burning and throbbing in my toes (although I still have attacks of extreme pain now and again, just not as often), but I haven't been able to get outside to walk the neighborhood to see if it "sticks."
Any ideas, help, suggestions...please?
