I'm on 600mgs of Neurontin, taken all at once, and have been struggling to wake up in the morning. The drowsiness kicks in about four hours after I take it (I take Amitriptyline, Serzone, and Neurontin at the same time right before bed). I've been prescribed Neurontin for managing my migraines, anxiety, panic attacks, and bipolar tendencies.
How did splitting the dosage work for you? Does it help during the day? I don't know if it's helping at all during the day, which, of course, is when I need it most. The only effects I've noticed during the daylight hours are drowsiness, massive forgetfulness, and numb brain. My p-doc prescribed 300mgs capsules, is there any method for splitting the dosage without nullifying the medicine? I really need this med to work. I've also read that Neurontin has a short half-life, is this correct? I am a very fast metabolizer, so wouldn't that affect the duration/length of Neurontin?
Thank you for your time...
