jemahon,

I am surprised at your struggles with Neurontin. Do you take it once or twice a day? I take it in the late evening. It has a very short half-life (8 hours) so should not have much effect during the day if taken the night before. I was on 600 mgs for 8 years. I finally had to increase to 900 mgs this past year. Maximum therapeutic dosages up to 4800 mgs per day were studied without problems.

Hockey,

One of the benefits of Neurontin is it has reduced my jaw clenching. I had wrecked my TMJ with jaw clenching.

My physical therapist does an in the mouth procedure that helps my TMJ settle down. I looked into a variety of TMJ therapies but most were far more expensive than effective. The PT's tricks have been my best solution. I think it is a variety of myofacial release. Painful for a while but worth it.
