> tortoiseHey T,
I have had the same experience. I take between 150mg and 300mg of neurontin three times a day. Initially I felt a great burst of energy and relief of anxiety. This feeling is now about 50% of my initial response. Neurontin almost feels like alcohol in a sense. I do feel foggy at 300mg three times a day. I just hope apathy does not set it like with klonopin.
