I can concur with this post. I am taking 4800 mg. of Neurontin per day for Multiple Chemical Sensitivity. I have been taking this dose for more than two and a half years. This drug, Neurontin, has been miraculous in lessening my symptoms. I have not noticed ANY side effects and it has helped me get my life back. I take it in combination with 750 mg. of Depakote.
