Does the stupid of Neurontin go away over time

[ans]

Hi. Am taking Avinza with 1800 mg/Neurontin. The pain med's PA told me that this Rx used for neuropathic pain could also help my discogenic pain too (now we get into different receptors - stuff I don't know about).

So, if the Neurontin does help the nonstop back pain, maybe my tolerance to Avinza will diminish.

However, I find that Neurontin makes me stupid, physically clumsy (I used to be nimble 'tho chubby/coordinated), and gives me odd mood changes. It's nice that there's a warning that this Rx can cause suicidal ideation too!

So: Does one get used to Neurontin over time where it's mentally dumbing side effects go away or must one lower the dose? (Gee, I sure asked this in a direct way: see, I'm stupider - no kidding). Sometimes I sound like an absolute idiot babbling on this stuff, it's unreal.

Thanks..
