Hi Everyone,

Thanks for the info.

On Wednesday the doctor gave me a refillable prescription for 1800mg/day. He said to increase from 900mg to 1800mg in 300mg increments each week if I'm not having side effects. I'm going to move quicker than that. I'm not detecting brain fog but it's hard to tell when I'm just lounging around watching football. My performance at work during the upcoming week will be the best indicator of mental sharpness.

Jim

Default re rapid increase

Hey Jim,
when I first bumped up to 2400mg I was dead sleepy and practically nonfunctional. I had to drop it down to 1800mg daily tho for a while I was still real tired and pretty spacey.

Just a head's up if you're going to need to be sharp for work. I think the tititration upwards is ideal to do if you're able and have the time~

continued good luck however you do this and hopefully you will get some excellent relief. Fortunately I have at this dosage~

So I'm doing okay on 1800 mg/day. I saw the Pain Center docs last Wednesday and they're recommending to my family doc (who prescribes the meds) that I can ramp up to 2400.

I like Neurontin better than Lyrica. Neurontin fog is nothing compared to Oxycontin fog. I wish all I needed was Neurontin since it really doesn't mess me up...
