Best timed dosing for Neurontin?

Posted by becksA on September 1, 2004, at 12:17:28

I have been taking 600mg of Neurontin 2x daily, (morning and bedtime) for anxiety...but have been noticing that I get anxious mid afternoon, so have been instructed by my pdoc to take it three times daily. For those that take this drug 3x daily, what have you found to be the best times to take it? Or doesn't it matter so much?

I'm also tapering off Xanax XR. Currently at 2mg 2x daily, about to go down to 1mg twice daily.

Thanks

My pdoc suggested taking it at night, as it may make me drowsy during the day. I am just moving up to 600mg, heading to 1200mg, also.

Are you going to be taking 1800mg?
