Spike,Neurontin shoots pretty quickly through the
kidney and so more dosing is needed to keep a
steady level in the brain. This helps to alleviate
brain fog. I found that if I took it less than
3x a day that I would get start up and stop
dizziness. When I increased the dosing to 3x a day
8 hrs a part I was okay, I believe the medicine
maintained a fairly consistent level in my body
for the 24 hr day which is the goal to avoid side
effects. Alas, I wish there was a sustained release
pill. I liked the anti-anxiety effect too.Regards,

> So I started neurontin at 300 mg in the morning, 2 pm and at bed. This is with 50 to 100 mg of zoloft and 0.5 of klonopin. WOW! So much anxiety was lifted .... felt like a vicelock was removed from my head. I am having some memory problems and sedation, so I might go down to 200 mg of the neurontin.
