In reply to energized on Neurontin?, posted by g_g_g_unit on March 24, 2014, at 1:21:05
> I was prescribed Neurontin for anxiety/restlessness. I was on it several years ago, 900mg at night, and while it improved my sleep quality, it never directly helped put me to sleep. On the plus side, it wiped out my anxiety the next day, at the expense of depression and brain fog.

I'm willing to put up with any mood disruptions for the time being in order to be able feel less restless, so was wondering if anyone knew whether the energizing effects pass?

I took Neurontin for some time before it really hit me--as in made me energetic and, eventually, manic. It was the first time I experienced "true" textbook mania. this was at about 900 mg. Tread lightly--it's a weird med--and I've heard of others who've responded in similar, paradoxical ways.
