Add your reviewI am on neurontin 300mg x3 day i take it for neuropothy but i mainly take it for seizures and yes i have found that along with the other meds i am required to take it helps to make me extremly tired. but it is better than seizures
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 !!
it works well i am taking it 1200 mg a day and yes will make ya sleepy.
I am on this medicine for pain from amputation. Taking it three times daily.
ProsNo side effects at all.
My doctor ordered 600mg 3xday but I am taking it 300mg 3xday and 600mg at bedtime.
ProsHelps with the neuropathy.
ConsThe drowsiness is why I altered how I take it.
I was on the same dosage as you, all It did was make me feel funny in the hed so I stopped it
ProsNone

I take 300 mg only at night. I have noticed no side effects at this dose.
TAKES NEUROPATHY AWAY ALONG WITH NARCOTIC MEDS
ConsDROWSINESS, BAD TASTE IN MOUTH, LARGE PILL
