Atarax sucks. If you want something for the anxiety, go with a benzodiazepine like Valium, Klonopin, or Xanax.
In addition, Neurontin is not 'a bad drug'. Many people find it quite useful as it may have mood stabilizing and anti-anxiety components to its subjective effects. That said, I didn't find it too beneficial, although I did require less xanax to combat my anxiety at doses at or above 1200mg/day.
Also, there is no true upper limit to Neurontin dosages. The toxicity is fairly low, although cognitive problems may rear their head like dizziness, forgetfulness, stuff like that. If you're worried whether or not you're taking too much, don't worry you probably are not if no adverse effects have appeared yet. Many people have taken 2400-4800mg / day, so I'd say you're fairly safe. But contact your physician if you are unsure about that.
