Did the side effects of Nueronton ease up or go away once you'd been on it a while.
I told my dr. I would try it and I'm titrating it up to 3 pills but am only on the 2 pill stage. I feel like I'm coming off of demoral. Not good when I'm trying to take care of 2 9 month olds. Some days it doesn't really affect me very much and some days I can barely stand up straight. If this is what it's going to be like permanantly I'm off this stuff.
Nuerontin ?

Yes, the side effects do go away once you've been on it for a bit. Takes the body a little while to get used to it. Wait and see a little, then decide.

I just started nuerontin too. The side effects have drastically decreased. At first it felt like I was on the percocets I had taken for pain when I had my wisdom teeth removed but this feeling keeps steadily decreasing. I am increasing my dose slowly and it seems to be working out.

Re: Nuerontin ?
Just curious, but what is the dosage of Neurontin are you on now and what are you titrating it up to?

Thanks everyone. I'm on 300mg pills. I started at one pill a day and am now up to 2 a day. The dr. wants me on 3 a day.

Good luck, hope it works.. (I am on 2400 mg a day, 600mgx4, for neuro pain for my TM, this is not associated with my OBPI).
