I just started on Neurontin yesterday. I am on 300 mg. the first day and will increase one more pill tonight and then take a total of 3 tomorrow. Is 900 mg. enough? I felt really weird on it too. My head fell dizzy and I felt foggy and very tired. Please tell me this will go away. I work at home and I can't be feeling any more tired than I already do.....If if does go away, how long will it take? Also, I noticed that I am way hungrier! Which I have to watch bc I already have weight to lose....Can you let me know your experience with this drug. And, Jess if you read this, can you email me? I can't PM you and I can't find your email from last time we talked. here is my email address: danaw36@charter.net

I need to get the number to your pain clinic over there. Mine turned me away.....and, my Uro. wants to send me to yours....thanks! :0) Dana

i tried it when i first found out i had ic my doctor started me one 100mg for three days then two for three days until i could get up to three a total of 300mg a day my body just wouldnt work with the medicine. i felt drunk and then i would get sick and couldnt keep anything down.

But
I Have heard great things about it from many people that has done really well on it hopefully someone will come by and read your post that can give you a good report on it.

please slow your uping down. This is a strong drug, safe compaired to most meds for epilepsy....which is why it is commonly used for pain as well.....but a Neurologist wouldn't have you wein onto it that fast .....be careful.

I recommend a week inbetween each added pill. If your pain is too high for that 3 days is ok.

On a different note....It helps my pain a lot.....and I haven't had any side affects from it....but I have been on epilepsy meds for years.


Good luck
