<< Barbara:

Thank you for your response. I took it for the second time last night and I
feel dopey again today. I don't know how I will function at work like this.
I am afraid to take it tonight because tomorrow is a workday. I am already
worried about not being able to keep up the pace at work--what with my
general
TM problems and the memory problems. I will be anxious to hear what other's
report re: Neurontin.

I was on high doses of Neurontin for many months (1800 mg a day) and slowly
developed: 1) severe drowsiness; and 2) memory problems. In my profession,
law, neither bodes well. I switched to a combination of other drugs to deal
with the symptoms (Klonopin for the tremors and muscle/nerve pain, and Tylenol
3 for pain). I also started on Zoloft, an anti-depressant, that has really
given me the ability to refocus and cope with my injuries.

Hope that helps.
