> So can Neurontin be taken only as needed, or in variable doses on bad days as opposed to good ones? I have a mild anxiety problem, but have
... dunno... i have taken it as needed, but it is certainly not something i feel comfortable recommending... in fact one of the reasons i originally decided to take neurontin rather than benzos is that i was tired of waiting for the anxiety to come before doing something about it....... i don't want it to come at all!
>had epilepsy/partial seizures for a long time. It would be nice to have a med like Neurontin ease my anxiety and control my seizures at the same time(kind of a kill two birds with one stone approach). What are your thoughts on using Neurontin as an effective antianxylotic and antiseizure medicine? I cannot say which dose is best for me yet, seeing that I just started taking Neurontin, but any feedback from you would be very helpful.
well i don't really know anything about epilepsy ... but i think if your anxiety is mild you would probably find yourself doing quite well on it... (i don't consider my anxiety mild but still think gabapentin worked great for me)...
... i also take gabapentin for agitation ....
so what dose are you up to so far and do you feel any effects or side effects?
