thats why the 6 hour doses do work bettter .
i do remember that a lot of the side effect did go away after a month, your body adjust to them, if you can tolerate it that long. it did for me. i had neurgenic bladder/urine retention and it also slowed down my bowel muscles.. i have cauda equine, so since those nerves are damanged maybe? the neurontin did affect them.
