Question Neurontin dose

I've just been placed on Neurontin with the dose being tapered up. I am also on Fentanyl patches for intractable pain (since 2005). I'm only on 300mg a day for be tapered up to 2400mg. I haven't been given MS diagnosis yet, but MY neurologist said that I have the nervous system of an "80year old" This dose seems kinda high to me & worried about how it will effect my ability to function at work. Last week I have had to start using a cane because my balance crapped out. I think the dose is too small to be causing me to weeble and wobble. I wonder if I'm having an exacerbation?

Anyone else take a high dose of Neurontin along with pain meds? I'm worried I won't be able to function with one more med put in my pile. I already sound like a rattle when I walk.
