I am taking 1 mg right at bed time. (it works cause I am sleeping well) >I take the newrotten at breakfast and then right after dinner.
Maybe I will talk to my doc about lowering the neurontin a little.
thanks for your advice.Both Klonopin and Neurontin are part of my med-cocktail, and I suffer from blinding migraines that respond to very few medications (Calcium Channel Blocker and Amitriptyline are my two most efficient pain-killers.).
