> can any of you tell me about your experience with neurontin--how long it takes to set in, side effects, how many mgs effective, etc?

sar,
Just so you know, I take 100 mgs of Neurontin 4 times a day with good result. I can't tolerate the mega doses that some people take. I find that this small amount is calming and also stabilizing. It is so important to take the med every 5 hours or so. If I forget, I start of get edgy and jittery. I start to wonder why I feel so yucky and nervous. Then I realize it's past the time that I was supposed to take my mid day dose. I feel better very soon after I take my missed dose.I hope you find neurontin useful. Slow and low is what I say. You don't want to take more medication than you need. In my case, less of a few meds is better than tons of one or two.
Of course, YMMV...
Good luck,
Chloe
