Neurontin inhibits its own uptake beyond a certain amount (something like 600 mg in 3 hours, as I recall). In other words, no matter how much you take, once you reach the threshold, the rest is lost in the urine (as another poster pointed out). It isn't metabolized via the liver, and is viewed as very safe as well as nearly impossible to overdose on.
My big question is why take so much, if such a large proportion is wasted? I guess it could work with multiple doses per day.
