There are tons of threads that cover Gapabentin, I'm merging you with the megathread.
I might be going to be prescribed this, anybody have any experience with this? ......neuropathic pain is the main purpose, I don't take anything else, I don't know the dosage yet I am just getting insight I see the neurology specialist on monday.
rebel marven-since neurontin is not well studied, its effects and such, how doy ou know it causes or can cause long central nervous system damage??

i took it for maybe 6-8 months. starting dose was 1800mg, raised to 2100 but i went right back down because i felt like a zombie. that was my dose when i started to tapeer. i'm at 900mg now.
it made me really slow mentally. it just felt like my thought processes took forever to finish. i could never think of the right words. i was clumsier. it became obvious why people refer to it as morontin. i started to get really anxious and paranoid as well, and i was starting to sink into a depression - i felt hopeless a lot of the time.
i know, i know, it takes all kinds - but i seriously can't believe people take this shit recreationally. i would rather huff freon.
i would rather be dead than take it again.
I've just started this for odd symptoms in my leg which the doctor thinks is nerve damage. ( I was in a car accident about 5 weeks ago)
Anyway, the doctor said to titrate the dose, 300mg day 1&2, 600 mg days 3&4, and 900mg day 5 onwards.
She didn't tell me why, and google hasn't been of much use.
Can anyone explain why I need to slowly increase the dose?
I am a biomedical researcher and I have been researching this extensively for quite some time. There is sufficient evidence for me to feel confident enough to make that statement publicly. If that is not enough, you are welcome to hear my personal case history and review the facts and data.
I just don't want anyone else to end up with the damage like I have sustained because of this drug.
Please be careful.
