I took Neurontin, starting at 300 mg/day. When I finally got off of it, I was taking as much as 3600 mg/day and it wasn't making me sleepy, so I can definitely tell you that it didn't have an effect on me in terms of sleepiness. I do know, however, that it knocks some people right out. However, the improvement was limited when I increased from 2400 to 3600... I would say, also, that once you build a tolerance to it, taking more would not affect your sleepiness (if you need to take more) This was, at least, my experience.

BEWARE when getting off of Neurontin. Don't run out. You will feel irritated and get a bad headache. Be sure to taper off of your dosage. I ran out one weekend and had a headache and felt overly emotional and easily agitated.

Good luck!
