In Reply to: Neurontin... antiepileptic anyone using this? posted by Jen on February 11, 1999 at 14:38:36:
My neuro put me on it, but he started with a small does and worked up to a large one for maintenance. It took about a week to get up to the dosage he wanted me on. I didn't have the side effects you're describing. But it didn't work either for me.
I did retain fluid and my feet and ankles swelled up something terrible. Had to get off it gradually also. DO NOT just stop taking it. I think my dr. said it was a steriod.
Give it a while and see if the side effects receed. They should.
