Keppra here. My dose is limited...I can't tolerate more than my prescribed 3 pills daily [tried more-got way too sleepy]. Each of us has to balance the paiin relief and side effects that each med creates.
Use for PN is 'off label' as are most meds used. Interesting web site I found today: http://www.medicalnewstoday.com:80/m...=65677&nfid=nl Hope this helps - j |

Thank you dahlek My reading indicated that drowsyness was the leading side-effect, which you confirm. Neurontin works well for me but I build up tolerance quickly. I am running out of options as some things don't work and others would compromise other health problems etc. It looks like keppra does help some people.

tolerate the neurontin, I couldn't. Unless you call sleeping 18 hours a day 'tolerating' it. I hope the Keppra works for you. - j

My dosage of Keppra is 1000 mg twice aday. No weight gain here . Now Neurontin is a different story . side effect is weight gain so if yall dont want to gain weight I may syuggest Keppra .

Just don't miss a dose...and if you are changing to another med to try, 'titrate' slowly. Do NOT just change - the med mfrs don't print out the consequences because they are afraid to! For any neuro-tropic med, which I believe this is. Caution is THE key-word! - j
