"i have been taking neurontin at 1800-2100 mg/day after a nightmare trial on seroquel. it felt like i was jettisoned up out of a deep, dark hole. everyone comments on how i am myself again, and i agree. it also helps with nerve pain, sleep, and definitely stabilized my moods. i have only gained 3 pounds, and i attribute that more to the fact i am eating again at all (don&#039;t eat when cycling). this medicine is easily metabolized and has few drug interactions. i am grateful that my doctor recommended it, as well as the cleveland clinic. it has been around since 1998, so i think we are good to go."
