> >I am taking this for panic attacks along with Buspar. Doc said it might help restless leg syndrome too! Went ok last night. Feel a little anxious today, but probalbly just the thought of starting a new med. Hope it lifts my mood a little also. Don't like SSRI's at all. I will stay on the 100mg for this week and then maybe up it to 200mg next week. You guys say it makes you sleepy, does this go away. Thanks GloriaGloria,
It doesn't make me sleepy, just helps me to relax, but I am an insomniac and that may be the reason why. I'm sure the Neurontin is like most drugs, the longer you take them the more tolerance you build up. What specifically did the doctor prescribe the Neurontin for? Was it for the panic attacks? I'm curious because I'd be surprised that a doc would prescribe a relatively mild drug like Neurontin for something as severe as PA's (at least mine are severe). I'm certainly not a doctor and am not questioning his/her decision, just curious. I'm still learning.... :0) Hope you don't mind me asking.
