Bill always tells people he only takes 300's twice a day, at the most.
At first, he was taking 400's four times a day - well, I think they
worked him up to it - but when he got to the 1600 a day he had
problems. Anyway, it's not me--it's him and he can't handle more than a
couple of the 300's per day.

They give it to him for muscle cramps - I heard his lady Doctor say that
- they used to argue back and forth because he would say it helped his
stomach and she would say "gabapentin not for stomach" and then they
would go back and forth.
It's supposed to be for his legs but he uses it for his stomach.

The TM Club on the internet here - they had information on all the
medicines - it was very good. I think if you join up they would
hopefully mail it out to you.
It had neurontin in there and some information I had never heard before.

Oh, and it made Bill's feet swell too much on the higher dose.

The Mayo Clinic site used to have good information about neurontin. I
think it is in the archives but maybe I can find it and send it to the
list again if I get the chance later. (Oasis)

This is my 2 cents worth.
