 5  neuropathy sleepiness...but that's a prefered side effects. I take 300 mg at nite as a sleep aid or when my neuropathy gets unbearable. I really can go 3-5 days without a dose and only 300 mg gets me feeling my feet again without stabby pain/numbness and a good 5 hrs of straight sleep! I sometimes feel groggy/fuzzy headed if I only get 5-6 hrs of sleep (typical) but the benefits sooooo outway the negatives! MIRACLE DRUG!!! F 53

 4  fibromyalgia & hern. discs in neck none I have been taking neurtontin for about 4 months. I take other more potent pain meds and along with the neurontin my pain has gone down. This had helped me sleep better than any other sleep medication I have tried. I have had chronic insomnia all my life. A good medication, I am somewhat worried about whether there has been enough research done on long term side effects. F 49

 4  depression, fibro Fatigue, forgetfulness, blurred vision Taking 300 mg twice daily has gotten rid of 75 percent of the pain. It has also elevated my mood. I could and have gone on higher doses to relieve all the pain, but If I did that, I couldn't get up for work. Side effects are not as bad as the ssri drugs. NO Sexual Side Effects!!! M 34

 3  Shingles / Post Herpetic Neuralgia Drowsy, memory loss, made me extremely relaxed and high, like being stoned more than drunk. It does seem to take the edge off the pain but the cost is that it turns me into a foggy idiot. My job, software development, is very brain intensive and I do a lot of multitasking. I found it very hard to get anything done at 3x300mg doses. 3x200mg is only slighly better. Problem is that it seems to wear off all of the sudden at about the 6 hour point, when the pain comes back. So, I'm frustrated that this is masking the pain and making me high, but isn't doing much in the long term relief department. F 49
