it made me loopy, and it really messed with my sleeping pattern. I gained 20 pounds, and was still in pain. I put the bottle down, and had to work hard to get rid of that 20 since I was not active due to the pain.

its a great med when it works, it just didnt work for me.

It made me sleepy at first. They normally will have you start taking it at night. I now take 900 mg , three times per day. Unfortunately, I have gained quite a bit of weight and the burning is now back on the top of my head. I do not want to increase the amount I am taking which will probably be my neuro's solution if I call. I have tried to slowly cut back on the dosage on my own, but have not been successful.

Jenn, I did not know you could take it on an as needed basis.
