In reply to Question about Neurontin, posted by Sef on March 12, 2000, at 21:03:53
i believe i've read that neurontin can kick in in one to two weeks. also that the first two weeks can be the most volatile as your body adjusts to it.
i have been on neurontin for 18 days now. 300 for one weeks, stepping up 300 mg each week. i could feel the extremes of my moods lessening, coming closer together during the two weeks (i ahd a paxil increase at the same time so that could be a contributing factor). i'm adjusting though, at day 14 my pd began and the hormonal aspect apparently threw me into a hypomanic/manic episode, i upped to 1200 immediately and things are better now.
it seems to help, but may be a long road getting the meds balanced. good luck to you.
