Dear All
I started on Neurontin 600mg a day in October for reflex sympathetic dystrophy of the shoulder. At the time I was also taking seroxat(paxil) 20 mg. I have gradually come off seroxat over the last month and this is my 5th day free of any seroxat. I am experiencing withdrawal symptoms.
Nerontin makes me sleepy and I didn't want to experiment with higher doses without coming off seroxat first with the consent of my doctor first of course.
My questions:
Does Neurontin increase appetite or just wanter retention?
Is it helpful to take other things with it, eg, kava kava, etc to combat some of the side effects which for me include lethargy. Is there anything to combat fogginess( or is that just my withdrawal symptoms from paxil)?
Do you have to take it all the time to benefit from it. Does one ever come off from it with a measure of remission?
Thank you
Nina
