neurontin 400 mg 3 times a day
When I was on Neurontin, I was taking 1,200 mg 3 time a day.
You're only taking 1,200 mg a day and I was taking that amount 3 times a
day, a total of 3,600 mg a day. I had a problem missing my second dose, but
when I started to feel pain, I knew that I had missed it. I know that this is
the highest a doctor want you to go, but I have seen people on even higher
doses. These doses can make you a zombie or foggy.
I'm now on Lyrica 150 mg twice a day. It's a lot easier for my the
remember to take my medication and I don't feel the foggy and/or a zombie.
I don't take the other medications that you're on.
And I may not have the same pain that you have, mine it most numbness
than pain. I do feel both of my feet feel like there should be flames coming
off my feet. lol
Hope this helps,
Todd in CC, TX

My doc at the clinic said that if i took anything stronger that i would
not be
able to keep my CDL,commercial drivers licesne.I can understand that.
it was a strange thing,tuesday,
monday i had a great day. a little pressure in my side.
that evening it started hurting. i took my meds right.
after 9 when it wasnt any better i took more hydrocodone and baclofen.
at 12
when things were really stressed i laid there with my legs burning and
calf
feeling like it was going to bust and feet felt swoolen.i slept on and
off for a
couple of hours and i think that the lack of rest added to the stress
and added
to the pain.
you know,,nerve things.
so i didnt dare try and go out and use my legs,probably saved a family
of 4 or
something......arghhhh!
i take ativan .5 mg 2 times a day
neurontin 400 mg 3 times a day
baclofen 20 mg 4 times a day
hydrocodone 5/500 2 or 3 times a day.
i realize that you and those that have been in this thing for a few
years have
delt with different dosses of these things,do you see anything i could
do
differently and be safe on the road?
serroiusly, i am asking.

John,
Tell me/us your meds you take - for pain, spasms, etc. I hate that
you
would have a day/night like that. Your doc should be able
to keep you fairly comfortable - not that we don't all have pain, but
you
should be able to take something strong enough that you
do not have entire days/nights with no relief. Sorry to get on my
soapbox, but that kind of constant pain needs to be addressed
to your doc - like "in his face".
