Hi,   I'm on 1800 mgs. per day for right now.  Whenever I slowly lower the dosage, my symptoms increase.  I've had no problems with neurontin, other than it making me tired, which is alright with the nightime dose as I often have trouble sleeping.   Grace

I have a question about neurotin. I've been on 18mg for over 1 yr.  Now I am cutting back and I think I hurt everywhere. The dr. gives me vague answers so I'm asking all of you. Does the neurotin help with the pain?  The pain changes from sharp pains in my legs and back to   just pain of hur
