It gets unbearable. When I reduce the dose back to 600mg it gets bearable. But it is still there. I am wondering if anyone has had this reaction. It is my main med for pain, but it seems to be increasing it. I have verified this reaction by going back and forth between the 600mg and upping it to 1200+ then reducing it again. Any help would be appreciated.....

hi,
i have been on neurontin for a long tiem with only a recent change.
maybe you upped it too fast? have you tried going to 900 from 600 then 1200?
slowly to let your body get use to the increase?
