My cousin takes Neurontin for nerve pain and takes 3600 mg a day. So the doses can go pretty high (very safely so), depending on the person’s degree of pain or overall need (like for mood swings, I believe I was on 1800 mg per day).

Eric, you need to do what you are comfortable doing. Get some professional opinions and tell them exactly what you told us – that you’re afraid of possible withdrawals that you’ve heard about, even though you’ve also heard it isn’t supposed to be habit-forming. Then after consulting a doctor/pharmacist – maybe you can ask him/her to print out the warning sheet for you (I’m sure they will) – then you can make an informed decision on what YOU WANT TO DO. Regardless of what any of us say.

And whatever you decide, we will support you. Just know that.
