I think dosing and reaction to neurontin is *very* much related to each person's own metabolism and body chemistry... moreso than some other common drugs. One of the more common problems I've heard from both quads and able-bodied people is a tendancy toward some weight gain. (A factor I completely forgot to take into account when I asked about diets the other day.)
I *was* taking 300mg/3x/day from '97 up until September. It helped without making me sleepy even though I took it with baclofen, valium and either hydrocodone or hydromorphone. Since my hospitalization in August, I, too, had my dosages pushed up. Now it's 900mg/3x/day in additioon to all the others. Still no sleepiness. However, I (my body)have always been very resistant to these types of meds. My mother is the oppposite... half a dose of most OTC "non-drowsy" allergy pills put her to sleep for obver 2 hours! Trial and error and make sure your doc knows if/when the drowsiness outweighs the benefits expected. Good luck & hang in there!
