Default 1800mg for you too

Do you feel that neurontin has been beneficial in your treatment? I had been taking 900mg since October. I just got it raised to 1800mg two days ago. I just wondered if you found it helpful or noticed a difference that it may or may not make.

I take 3600 mg daily @ 900mg increments 4 x's a day. Yes it helps with the burning pain, but I didn't realize it helped until I was on a high enough dose of narcotics that I could tell it helped. At one time I was on 4800 mgs a day. I don't seem to be suffering from any type side effects, but then I have been on this med since 2003. RSD is in both of my feet.

I am currently taking 3200 mgs of it... My doctor says its one of the meds that you can raise pretty high and play around with to see if it makes a difference.. He says it can take up to a month to notice the difference...


Pain free days and light hugs J
