Hi Annie,
and welcome! Yes, your situation sounds all too familiar. With most of us it's a question of trial and error for medication - as Liz says, somewhere in the posts, much of our discussion is comparing notes.
I need neurontin, but simply can't function on the "normal" amount, it makes me feel like I'm tripping (us children of the 'sixties, how would we know about that?
). So I've lessened it over time to the point where people would say "Why bother?" - but for me, taking a small amount really helps. It makes the difference between the pain being in the forground where I can't cope, or the back ground where I can.
So you might give that a go. I take about 500 mg per day. I split open one 300mg capsule and dissolve in a little water (it's water-soluble) then take a little throughout the day, then 200mg before bed. Before anyone screams at me, yes I know this isn't proscribed, but it works well for me (so there
) .
Well, your very kind offer of information assistance will be invaluable to us, I reckon. Thank you very much.
Take care, all the best.
