I have been taking Neurontin for 10 days now, slowly increasing my doses in conjunction with nerve blocks for vaginal pain. I have been tired everyday. A few days ago when I increased my dose to 900 mg, I experiences a lot of memory loss, blurred vision, extreme sleepiness, and I've also noticed increased acne (I'm 26) and facial hair. I do notice a significant decrease in pain, and that i am getting used to the medicine. My doctor wants me to get up to 1800 mg, so I'm trying to get used to it each step of the way. The side effects have begun to go away, but the sleepiness has not (I've been late to work twice so far!) I'm just glad to hear others are having the same effects. I'm sure it will get better.
