Rina, Good for you. Some pdocs start with only 100 mg Neurontin so you'd have to see how you are feeling and call your pdoc if you feel too out of it. You can always say "can I take a smaller dose to start, its really knocking me out"? Did you get 100 mg or 300 mg capsules?
I was always someone that was really affected by starting doses of any medication. If 50 was a normal dose, I would start at 25. That is just what I found was tolerated best and then you won't give up on trying something if the SE's are terrible. Tell the pdoc that.
Your pdoc seems big on trying two meds together. Why would he try Strattera and Provigil, rather than Strattera first, then a few days/weeks later add Provigil? These doc are all so differnt in their style. Some are scared of trying anything, yours seems to be rather aggressive, if you ask me.
