Title: Careful with Neurontin
Post by stuey on May 27^th, 2003, 9:39am

If your doctor decides to put you on this I just gotta say be careful. Mine put me on 600 mg and while it seemed to work with the verapamil after day four i had to stop taking it. i am still so lethargic i can't stand it. I was heading out to the store saturday to get something and was so high i turned around and came home. I stopped taking it and last night slept 10 hours and the night before 10 1/2 hours. it was like my body needed it. my cycle seems to be over at least i cross my fingers but i have never felt so drained of energy and i assume it was the neurontin, don't know what else it could be. i have taken 300 mg of neurontin in the past for other stuff but never 600 over a course of several days. so that's my experience with it if that's what is causing the lethargy. peace to all. stu

worked my way up to 1800mg. of neurontin a day during my last cycle, with no sides at all. meds that work for some, don't for others. ............Jack

I think of it as a wonder drug... The ONE drug that has kept CH at bay for Dave for the first time in like 20 years of suffering... He also weans himself off when he feels the cycle is definately gone He has used it through 2 cycles and his last cycle was a cake walk compared to the 7 month one he had 2 cycles ago... just dont go off cold turkey... wean wean wean..................ree
