my neuro stated me on this, and every time i stop taking it due to the "dopy" feeling.
so now, i'm trying it again, 100-300mg at night, to see if it helps with pain. i think it is helping my sleep a little deeper, though not longer.
however, here i sit, feeling so "out of it", that i really don't feel like doing anything, although i want to go do something because it is such a lovely day out. i'll probably stop this med AGAIN, due to this side effect.
Yes, the neurontin will have the effect of making one feel kind of dizzy and/or light-headed/bodied AT FIRST. I notice the effect when ever I start the neurontin again (I take as needed for headaches mostly) or increase a dose, BUT the effect wears off as you keep on it--in like 5 days to maybe two weeks (lessing in effect over that time as the new dosage keeps being used). I find it actually energizes me now IF I have gotten plenty of sleep or am at least not feeling sleep deprived when starting it or increasing. Don't give up too soon.
