Default How Much Is Too Much?
Went to one doctor today, and he raised my Neurontin dosage from 900mg daily, to 1800mg daily. Is this typically? That just seems like a WHOLE lot of milligrams. Can anyone out there, taking Neurontin, fill me in on this one. I don't even really know what the Neurontin is supposedly doing within my body in the first place...HELP!

Hi Heather,
How are you and your baby? I really hope that your pain is going down a bit.
Take care and if you need anything just ask, I am happy to help.
Thanks

Default Hey Sweetheart...
Want to Babysit...j/k

The pain and the baby have been really tough lately...She doesn't want to sleep and I do...So, I have to keep going and GOD allows me to. I know that HE will never give me anything that I cannot handle, right?!My flare-ups are getting worse because my last block has worn off ond my hormone levels from birth are returning...I am in the process of moving back to Cali and won't see a Dr. till the 31st. So, I have to "grin and bear it"!

How are you, hun?! Hope your pain is well! Thanks for caring Ali!


Heather

I've known a few people who were on doses of 3600-4800mg of neurontin,so I guess your dose seems rather low compared to that! LOL So you still have much room to grow dosage wise anyway.

Hugs,

Karen

Those friends, those buddies of yours, taking thos Neurontin doses that you mentioned, are they dead? Do they have a pulse? Do they walk like they are drunk? Just kidding, but, man, those ARE really high doses that you mentioned. Those that you know, that take Neurontin at that dosage, are they people who are also diagnosed with RSD?

thanks for the compliment on my attitude. I needed a good attitude to be stroked today. It means a lot..thank you.

thank you, too, for others who are willing to share their experiences with Neurontin, and its effectiveness/ineffectivness. you are appreciated.

Yes it does give some releif. I feel that I will probably end up on a higher dosage yet, as my condition continues to deteriorate.
