Maybe not........

There are several folks on this board with many years of CH experience who say that it works for them.

I was as taking over 3000mg per day about 3 years ago and I had no side effects and no CH improvement.

Prescribed this med last year. It seemed to provide some success.............thanks for that link!

Docs have historically "dove right in"..............it's really nutty. And Neurontin ain't the first (and won't be the last) to tally with a long and illustrious list......................

Low dose to start.......300mg/day ;D - i'm tiny ;)
-anyhow, that didn't woik, (lol) so doc put me up to 900mg/day. The attacks slowed down significantly. Only thing is I felt so lethargic (plus my face got all red and hot and felt like a goblin).................LOL! Should i continue? So, I stuck it out and the headaches DID really seem not as severe as in the past......but..............i did hit a pole backin outa the deli..........and I DID hit a tree pullin outa a driveway...........plus I just felt more dopey than usual? ???LOL. Maybe it's jes me ;D

So, less attacks. Shorter cluster. Veddy screwy Kimmy. ;D I'll take it! ;D
