My son takes 600mg every 6 hours for nerve pain and he said he has no bad side effects from that dose. It works very well for his nerve pain. Everyone is different.
Starting the big Neurontin leap--doc says it works for tonic clonics?

I'm frustrated with my neurologist. As this is all new to me, I am not quite sure how to maybe request referral to a movement specialist instead. Or how to find someone who will talk to me about the things I need to discuss. I feel dismissed.
She didn't call me back to discuss my concerns, she instead had the nurse call me back again and she couldn't answer any of my questions and disregarded my concerns and fears.
Whatever. I filled the Rx and will try it out starting tomorrow. Because I need something.
I'm pretty worried about the depression/suicide side effects I keep reading about, as I am currently already dealing with both of these things. I'm terrified for it to be increased on this drug, and hope I can handle it.
If it actually works to stop the jerks and I don't have bad side effects, then great. I guess I won't know unless I try. But I really feel like maybe this isn't the right drug to try - I haven't found ANYTHING where it is indicated to treat myoclonic jerks. We'll see!
