IS ANYONE ON THIS MEDICINE? I TAKE IT FOR DIABETIC NEUROPATHY AND ALSO FOR THE AMPUTATION OF 2 OF MY FINGERS ON MY LEFT HAND. I WAS INTERESTED IN WHAT SIDE AFFECTS YOU GET FROM THIS DRUG?

I have been on it about 2 months. I take 1 in the morning, 1 at lunch and 2 at bed time. Total 1200 mg. a day. It does help but I feel like it doesn't last as long as it needs to.

I have been taking Neurontin for about 7 years, I also have trouble with severe Neuropathy. I lose my balance alot and fall , i think that it is from taking Neurontin. but it does help my condition somewhat, i take 600mg. three x a day.

It makes me tired at just 500mg dose. I used to be able to take over 2000 mg. without any problems. 500 is not helping with the neuropathy.

I've been taking neurontin for several years. Recently my doctor increased my dosage to 400 mgs 4 xs a day as my neuropathy has gotten a lot worse. Mine started some 8 years ago when I was having problems with severe hypoglycemia which caused the same type of nerve damage that hyperglycemia can cause. I haven't ever had any problems with it though I have talked to some friends who have. I don't recall what all they have told me though none have had life-threatening reactions.

My husband took this a few years back for neuropathy. He is not diabetic but has a dropped foot due to back surgery and that is what caused his neuropathy. Went on neurontin and went into toxic shock. Had to take him to the emergency room. Be careful !!

My doctor ordered 600mg 3xday but I am taking it 300mg 3xday and 600mg at bedtime.

Pros

Helps with the neuropathy.

Cons

The drowsiness is why I altered how I take it.
