Hi Willyee :-)
Totally agree with what you say about Neurontin and keeping it at low doses ~ it seems at them its most effective.
When I took my first dose I had "buzz" from gabapentin that was similar (mildly) to that of ecstacy. However this only lasted 1 day and I have never had a repeat experience. The intial "buzz" does certainly where off over time but by keeping my dosage the same (900mg a day) I still reap the anti anxiety benefits from the drug, with very very limited side effects if none at all.
I read in the information leaflet something about the more you increase you med the less bioavailability there is of the drug in your system anyway....so it certainly makes sense to keep the dose low to me.
Neurontin is one weird drug, used in the correct way though can be very helpful with next to nothing side effects i'm finding...And always best used as an "add on" med just like really is made for in its use in epilepsy.
Just my thoughts anyway
Kind regards
Nick
