I started on Neurontin a few months ago. I also take Celexa 30 mg and Wellbutrin 150 mg. I started at the dose you did and my doctor wanted me to keep increasing it. He said I could take 200 mg at a time and see what happened. I never got beyond 400 mg/day for several reasons. I believe I felt better and was afraid to increase the dosage. I didn't feel the risk of increasing the Neuronin was indicated. If I really didn't feel any better I would have, but I did feel pretty good and didn't want to mess with the combination of all 3 meds.
I wouldn't increase it again unless you want to experiment just to see what happens. For me, that is just too risky. I try and take the lowest dose of these meds that is working.
Luckily my doctor gives me enough leeway to know when I want to stop.
Good luck and I hope you find the right dose for you.
