I use to take neurontin and I had to go off of it. I didnt know anything that was going on while I was on it. It knocked me on my butt. Others have had good luck with this med. I just wasnt one of them and it didnt even touch my pain. But I do understand how you feel when your taking it. Its no fun.

Every now and again, I do have a night where I *cannot* sleep, no matter what I do, my pain is unbearable.
But every other time I take it, 50mg, at night I am *great*.
I go to bed I get comfy, the pain eases to a point where I can drop off, then I sleep like a log until about 12-12.30pm. I feel a little groggy in the morning but nothing I can't handle.
I don't like the fact that in the evenings and late nights I can feel it wearing off and the pain creeps back up.....

I do really hope that this helps you as much as it has me....... :D

I take 500 mgs. of neurontin 3x daily. I may have had those side effects at one time, but I've been on it so long now I honestly don't remember. It helps me. I was initially put on it for seizures. When I was going to be weaned off of it, pains started back up so I asked the doctor not to change anything. He agreed.

I have a friend who takes a dosage of 200 mgs. 2x daily for her fibro. She gets that woozy, dizzy feeling sometimes.

peace and love ...

I took 600mgs 4 times a day. The only problem I had was I seemed to get tolerant to it. It also caused swelling in my legs.

Yes I took this for nerve pain from my backpain. I dont remember the dosage. But it made me feel dizzy and sleepy. After about 2 weeks it just made me feel as you day Drunk sort of. It dint work on my pain at all. So them he toldme to take it more than 3time to 4 times a day. Still no results on the pain. Just good for makeing me feel like I drank a whole bottle of Bacardi. Which is crazy since I havent had a drink in years.

yes the 1st couple of weeks I had the drunken feeling. But now I've adjusted to the med and don't have that side effect anymore.

I take it also. Six 600 mgs a day! Every now and then I feel drunk! It took me awhile to build up to this much. I have terrible nerve pain and this really helps.
