> Thanks to all of you for your replies. I guess I will give it a try as long as I can use the liquid form and start with a micro-dose. There's no way I'd start with 100mg capsules! Ritch, you spoke of some memory problems. I know that benzos can impair memory and learning. Would memory problems with Neurontin be caused by a similar mechanism?
A 100mg bedtime only dose isn't quite the ton of bricks you might expect. It doesn't last long in your body, and I only would feel its effects very lightly when I woke up, unlike trazodone, antihistamines, etc. When I first tried it I started off taking 300mg 3x daily.. now that *did* seem like a ton of bricks to me. As far as "mechanism" goes.. that's not often helpful, it's better to just take it and see what happens. Some people find it activating and alerting, others find it makes them dumber than benzos do.
