Hi Mitch, thank's for your post. Indeed, 300mg is a very low dose. I'm presently somewhere between 1600 and 2000, but still not so sure it's of any help. Since it seems to be a very safe drug, I continue taking it, but I don't know for how much longer...

Take care,

Doo.

> I take Neurontin, but only at a very low dose. I am what most docs call "treatment intolerant" and it is tough to find stuff that I can stand to take(I have had bipolarII for 22 years now-chronic maybe euthymic about half that time or less). I had my Neurontin pushed up to 1800mg for a very *short* time, and experienced an intense depersonalization experience (my arms and legs seem detached and/or belonged to someone else), I also became agitated and very nervous. It got lowered down down down and it is still beneficial at the low dose I take (300mg/day), but can't tolerate much more than that. I also got an even worse depersonalization experience with Gabitril, just an FYI. Anti-convulsants seem to be worse for that.
