I have been taking Neurontin for about 2 months now, my dose being 400mg 4x/day. I experienced few side effects, but the grogginess and other initial effects went away in about 1 week (my starting dose being 400mg 2x/day). The drug has done wonders for my anxiety and aggressiveness. I wish you friend the best of luck.
