Thanks for replying Heidi.


I know many people have had strange side effects with Neurontin... I'm on 1800 mg right now, and I am working on increasing it. But, when I increased it suddenly a few weeks back I started having chest pain, and was dizzy. Whenever it is increased it makes me dizzy, and then the dizziness wears off. However, the chest pain made me a little leary... I know that's a rare side effect of the Neurontin.

Wow. You started at a HIGH dose, huh?! When I was first diagnosed I was started at 300 mg, but we started increasing it fairly quickly.

I know that if you are seeing benefits w/ it, that Drs. like to have you work up to the highest dose, which is 3200 mg.

I'm glad you are doing well with it.
