First Dose of Neurontin (Gabapentin)

Today was Levi's first dose of Neurontin.  He is on 300 mg in the morning for five days, then 300 mg twice a day thereafter.  Almost immediately he fell asleep.  He woke up about an hour later, and I was able to give him a tub bath, change his colostomy bag, and get him dressed without the slightest fussing.  Usually he screams at the top of his lungs the entire time.  We've just finished, and he's sleeping again.  I'm glad he's so relaxed and feeling good, but I do hope this extreme sedative effect goes away once he gets used to it.  Here are a few pics I took after his bath.
