margomills,
Do you take the Neurontin after the collapse and tremors to make them go away? Or have they stopped after you started taking the Neurontin? Neurontin has only an 8 hour half life. To maintain level blood concentrations of it, you would need to take it three times a day.
Regarding the G2, I am a proponent of staying away from artificial sweeteners, especially for those with PCS. Acesulfame potassium can cause problems with reactive hypoglycemia. Reactive hypoglycemia can make PCS symptoms intensify and take you on a roller coaster ride. I have lived with reactive hypoglycemia for decades. The jury is still out on the long term effects of Sucralose, which is sucrose with three chlorine atoms added to replace three hydroxyl groups . Organic chlorine (versus ionic chlorine as in salt, NaCl)) is the active ingredient in many pesticides due to its toxicity.
I would stay with the Original Gatorade. It is much safer.
Tengboche, what has the Elavil ( Amitriptyline ) done to improve your sleeping? I use the gabapentin for improvements in my sleep. That reminds me, time to go take my dose prior to bed time.
btw. I have been on generic Neurontin ever since Teva started producing it. Makes no difference to my system.
I think most of us agree about the usefulness of neurologists for most PCS.
