Default Are The Side Effects Worth It?

Granted, in seeing one doctor yesterday, whom I know quite well, and trust, my Neurontin dose was doubled from the regular 900 mg daily to 1800. As with anything, there are the "given" side effects (like dry mouth/constipation as with any medication). But, though still a "common side effect," with Neurontin, in taking it the last two days, I am incredible dizzy (trouble waking, serious), tired (but not the kind of tired that makes you want to go to sleep. Does anyone know if these side effects tend to go away during the course of treatment, or, is this something that is going to pursist?

IF these normal side effects continue to be bothersome, as they are for me today, shoud I talk to the doctor about it....if, after a "trial run" of a week or so? I just don't know what the normal dose is for most people, nor, what most people who take Neurontin experience as side effects.

Any help or answers would be much appreciated..thank you..
