Maung,
If you have that much Topamax on board, and your Neurontin is bouncing up and down a little with it-I doubt if you are going to have any problems. I am thinking in terms of seizure threshold. (Say, you took nothing but 30mg of Valium every day for six months, you wouldn't want to stop it suddenly, because you could have a seizure)
I have never heard of any Neurontin blood tests, and from what I have read the more you try to ingest the less bioavailable it is (the less you can absorb), which makes it virtually impossible to "overdose" with. I take a low dose of it myself right now, and I must say that if you suddenly stop a HIGH dose of it you WILL get a withdrawal from it, that I found quite unpleasant.
Your pdoc may be quite annoyed by your experimentation, however. I would just tell him you tried taking extra Neurontin and it seemed to help better, and oh-"what about taking a minimum of x amount every day and take a little more if I feel stressed?" and get his response. People take Klonopin and Xanax for panic on a PRN basis, and Neurontin shows definite anxiolytic activity.
