Hi, Bizi,
 I have been on the Gabapentin / Neurontin for a year. It helps with anxiety. I try to raise the dose but the sleepy side effects are difficult. Twice I have tried to raise the dose. This is my third time. M |

It's very difficult to figure out how to take these powerful medications. I take seroquel,and have sleepy side affects with it also. It takes affect immediately. It's very difficult to know what to do. It does help me with my condition though. BF

I am sorry....(((((HUGS))))
bizi maybe this will level out with time...neurontin does have some mood stabilizing effect for some folks. sorry that you are so sleep deprived.

Mari i can think of 2 things to try:
1. you could try splitting the dose, initially till you get used to it. take the 100 mg when you normally would. then take the "extra" 30ish mg at least 8 hours away from it. i figure even in the morning if you're used to 100 and that doesn't make you real sleepy, then 30mg alone should not make you sleepy. ---- OR ---- 2. since you KNOW it's going to knock you out for now, you could try setting up for it. go to bed, take drug, put on cpap and lie down. you may find you sleep a little longer than you do slumped at a desk. and it will be better sleep with the cpap. ------------------------- whatever you do, if the problem with the deprivation hits the week mark i'd call pdoc, tell him what you are doing and ask him for advice. you don't want to insist on something needlessly when he might have some good ideas on how to help you manage the titration. on the other hand, he may tell you mission abort before you hurt yourself too much. either way, i'd not wait past 7 days to call him, barring a dramatic improvement. good luck. i'm real sorry you're having such a hard time. sending lots of hugs ~ waves ~ |
