I can't remember the reasons they gave and I've never seen those tips again but it does help. Also, drink plenty of water when taking it. That too helps.
Neurontin can deplete your magnesium and vitamin B12 (I just learned that one) so make sure you get plenty of it in both your diet and supplements.
It took me about a week to get used to it and I rarely get that loopy feeling now. I take 300 mg in the am and 600 mg at night. This is the highest dose I can tolerate. They've had me try to increase it but I just couldn't.
I hope you start feeling better soon.  |
Thank you! I will try that! Hopefully I can tolerate it. Something has to give, I have a Halloween party for my kids and nieces and nephews to do this weekend, then a Halloween parade for my daughter on Monday, then trick-or-treating. Oh yeah, and company coming for tomorrow night. This just gets through the end of this month!
Why do I have to fall apart right now dang it?! It's okay, I just have to find a way to deal and move on. Thanks again for all of your help!
