Hi everyone, I was prescribed Neurontin at bedtime for severe neuralgia resulting from several discs out in my cervical spine. She started me out on a low dose of 300mg and I was to titrate up to 900mg after two weeks, but I found I could barely handle 600mg. Initially I thought it was causing me to hallucinate or have waking dreams. Over the next couple weeks I worked on being more cognizant of what was actually happening, and found that I was flying up out of bed gasping for air. My Doc ordered an over night pulse/ox text and confirmed that I did quit breathing. I loathe to quit taking the Neurontin because this has been the first time in 3 years that I can go for almost 8 hours without being in severe pain but at the same time I am only 30years old and I dont want to have a breathing machine just because of a medication. Has anybody had any similar experiences or found an alternate solution..I would greatly appreciate any feedback
