In reply to Re: Starting Neurontin -- 300mg last night..OK, posted by Simcha on November 11, 2002, at 10:03:42
Folks, I just got off the phone with my pdoc and he says I'm doing well with this trial and that he agrees that I should remain at 300mg if I'm feeling slightly sedated during the day. If the sedation wears off he said I should try 400mg and I'll know if it is too much when I get there and I can go back down to the previous level.
He is also supporting me in my decision to cut the .5mg of Klonopin to .25mg of Klonipin starting Friday night. This way I cut the Klonopin dose 1/2 again after one week of being on 1/2 of my previous dose. He has encouraged me to take as long as I need to to get off of the Klonopin. From what I've read here it might be a good idea to cut the .25mg again in half to .125 yet my 1mg pills would make that difficult. I'll have to see how I feel when I get there.
I'm glad I'm journalling this experience here. It is helping me to track how the switch is going and I can get feedback from others who have tried Neurontin.
Take Care,
Simcha
