We seem to almost be in the same situation. I keep bumping into you! Lol!
Yes, I've found Neurontin to be very stimulating. It is funny how you are supposed to start at bedtime due to the fatigue it causes. Well, it has never made me one bit sleepy.
I used to drag through the day with very little energy. Since taking the Neurontin, I find that I can tolerate the entire day without going through huge tiredness slumps. I am very thankful for that!
It is interesting that you mentioned ADD. I am inattentive myself, but I never considered Neurontin as a med for that particular situation. I will have to experiment some and see what results I get. I'm not sure if it helps me to focus, like you were saying. But it certainly wakes me up. Hmmmm....maybe if I take my doses closer together. Do you find that it helps on a continuous basis, or just a burst and then it's gone?
I take 800mg, two times per day. My prescription is actually for three times per day, but I haven't had the need to do that. Maybe I should. I truly need help with my focus! It is impacting very negatively on my life, and I just can't seem to get it together for any length of time. Sigh.
Anyways, let me know how it goes with the Neurontin. I also had quit Remeron, but I've gone back to it last night. I'm going to try and tolerate 45mg, when the NE is most prominent. Like I said, I really am in a bit of a crisis situation now in terms of my inattentiveness. I need to get myself focused!! Argh!
Take care! I'm so glad for you that you've found Neurontin to help! It is a wonder drug, isn't it?
