"i have been taking neurontin 800 mg 4 times a day for several years. i can say it helped me in more ways than one. been underweight for most of my life, and over the years neurontin has helped me get an appetite back. now i am the right weight for my height. also, after 4 years addicted to suboxone and klonopin, i never would have been able to get clean without neurontin. overall i feel that neurontin has saved my life. i haven&#039;t attempted suicide since i started on it. but for severe bi-polar like i have, counseling really does help."
