Well, I talked to the doctor. She had me do a blood draw to make sure it's not caused by the Tegretol I'm on.

The nurse told me the doctor wants me to start taking 200mg of Neurontin twice a day instead of just at bed time. I told her that I can't walk straight when I take it that's why I only take it at bed time. She told me, "Well I think that's why she wants you to TRY it"

So I guess I'm going to try to see if I can tolerate it.
