Default Neurontin

I was previously taking Lyrica until I ran out of meds just after Thanksgiving. I have a new PM doc and he put me on Neurontin on Dec 3rd. Didn't get them until December 8th I think it was. Ever since then...I have slept and slept and slept. I cannot seem to keep my eyes open. I have still been going to work (on crutches because the pain in my ankle is still VERY bad and I can't put any weight on it)...but I get home and I sleep. I still wake up with my alarm and I still wake up from the pain...but I fall asleep right away which I have NEVER been able to do before. My entire body feels like one giant bruise and I have a VERY hard time getting up. And it's not just from the pain like normal...it's also because I am so frigging tired and all I want to do is sleep. Is this normal with this drug? It's especially frustrating because it's not helping with the pain. I think from what I have been reading that I am on a pretty small dose of it (100MG 3 times a day). But if I am sleeping this much on a small dose I am sort of scared what a bigger dose would do to me...would I ever be awake? I think I really need to talk to the doc about switching to something else because this is definitely not working.
