What Is The Dosage Of Neurontin?

had a seizure 11 years ago and was first put on dilantin then was changed to neurontin. took this for all those years and no doctor ever said maybe i could stop taking this drug. just recently i asked if i could start tapering off and stop completely. dr said yes and i cannot possibly tell you what an absolutely horrible nightmare it was. went to hospital and it took months to even start feeling like a human being. what can you tell me about this ordeal i went through.

Internal Medicine Specialist 's  Response
Hello,

Welcome to HCM.
The normal dose of Neurontin is 1800 mg to 3600mg per day for seizures.
It is unfortunate that you had difficulty in withdrawing the medicine.
Could you please elaborate the ' horrible nightmare' for the sake of others who may be wanting to withdraw their medication?
Please mention what dose you were on and what was the schedule you followed to withdraw the medicine. Are you back on Neurontin or what medicines are you taking now?
Thanks,
I find this answer helpful
