In reply to I hate Neurontin's short half-life, posted by pat c. on December 1, 2001, at 8:13:44
Pat,I hated it to. I found that I needed to dose
it *exactly* 3 times a day 8 hrs apart. I usually
sleep 10 hrs, but I would force myself to wake
up early to dose it at 8 hrs (then I would be
lazy and go back to sleep). Without the precise
dosing schdule I would get start-up and stop side effects
like stupor and dizziness.
Really annoying. It was so good for benzo withdrawal
though. Can't think of a way out on Neurontin,
it is quickly excreted through the kidneys.-john
