The only problem with Neurontin is the short half life and the fact that every few days you have to up the dose for any results and before you know it your taking 1200mgs 3 times a day.
Just my opinion, I'm on Lamictal now and actually feel the smooth effect of mood stablization without cognitive impairment like Topamax and even Neurontin can cause.
Doctors love to prescribe Neurontin because the manufacturers claim it's a cure all, good for anxiety, migraines, clean your fuel injection system, whatever.
Few people claim it's good and maybe you are one of the lucky few it could help, but I've not heard and personally think Neurontin has a low success rate and has only made the stockholders very happy.
