I'm glad you didn't have to stay on the increased Neurontin. Decreasing Neurontin 300mgs a day? Sounds like a fast decrease to me (since I've been only decreasing Tegretol by 100 mgs per week and once I did 50 mg per week). But I don't know anything about Neurontin. Be careful!

I decreased Topamax 25mg yesterday morning. Was really surprised when I got up today and took my morning 100 mg of Tegretol and I got really dizzy. So I did some searching on the Internet, and it seems that there are folks who have withdrawal symptoms when they cut back on Topamax, dizziness being one of them. I haven't felt that dizzy since I started taking Topamax. It got better through the day. I have some early morning things to do Sunday and Monday, so I really don't want to be that dizzy every morning. (But all in all there are far worse things to feel than dizziness!) We'll see.

Well, the journey goes on.... I hope it goes well for you!
