Default ? about dose of Neurontin

My Mom has neuropathy unkown origin and is on 900 mg/day and it isn't helping her. She is 85 years old and is afraid of what she calls 'mind altering drugs' and she thinks Neurontin is because it made her feel dopy when she first started it. She now mainly takes it at night now. So she saw a new doctor today and he ordered her to increase it to 1800 mg/day. I don't know a whole lot about Neurontin, I am on Tegrtol so I don't know what kind of dose that is an should she expect any other reactions to it. You know how people are in retirement communities, they all talk about thier meds. So several people say she might be incontinent with this dose. Any help?
