I think I got up to maybe 600mg--all at bed,despite what the literature says, that worked fine--and that took a month of fogginess, but there were people going up to the thousands til it hit their pain level.

My pdoc thinks Neurontin would knock me out because I am very sensitive to meds ! A year ago tried 7.5 mg Remeron at night (for depression) and that was knocking me out for the next day. Zyprexa at only 2.5 mg the same
story. Lamictal was also making me tired and dizzy at only 10 mg/day. Pdoc thinks about Trileptal (Oxcarbazepine) as an option ?!
