It wasn't too bad for me, but the weird side effects lasted about 2-3 weeks... I am on 2400mg a day of Neurontin.

Hi!
I was on neurontin for a few years. It worked great. I don't remember what it was like at first. The slowly increased it up to 2400 mg 3 times a day. But what happened is I developed tremors in my good arm. I saw a pain specialist and recently he took me off neurontin and put me on a drug called Lyrica. It works way better and I only take 150mg a day.

If you used neurontin and titrated up to a high dose how long did the stoned feeling last before your body got used to it?
