| 5 | Chronic neck pain | A little drowsy, had frequent, amazing flashback memories from my childhood. Relieved the pain long enough so my body could heal on its own. Took this medication years ago when they first started prescribing it for symptoms other than seizures. Have not had the severe neck pain since. | 51 | 1 months low | 12/1/2011 | 5 | | 5/25/2006 | 5 | Anxiety | It elevates might mood. Quite fantastic actually. It sometimes gives me funky shits and nasty farts. | A wonderful mood elevator and anti-anxiety drug. They should put it in the water supply! It's better than finding Jesus. | 1 years | 11/26/2004 | 5 | headaches | none | 28 | | 7/8/2004 | 5 | | 6/4/2004 | 5 | | 6/13/2004 | 5 | trigeminal neuralgia | no side effects | this medication has helped me. Without it I am in terrible pain | 40 | 2 years | 5/29/2002 | 5 | bipolar, diabetes | small amount of fatigue. | Neurontin for me is excellent. it helps with several different areas that I need. mood, neuropathy, restless leg. I noticed immediately when I started taking it that it was going to be very helpful. | 43 | 2 years 600 2X day | 3/1/2016 | 4 | peripheral neuropathy | Son is in wheelchair and nonverbal and was in kidney failure and diabetic PRIOR to starting Neurontin. It did relieve excruciating pain & swelling in feet. Now on for 3 years, and about 18 mos ago he has had unexplained pain and some swelling in left arm, now developing in right. Extreme tendon tightness, feet turning out, floppy legs, and lack of coordination. | Even tho these side effects are listed as rare, they certainly seem to be a pattern, following increase of neurontin over time to control neuopathy. Yes, I know he needs PT, but we have been overwhelmed with home dialysis, other illnesses, and can hardly think to add another specialist to our reigime. | 3 years | 1/15/2009 | 4 | | 6/3/2004 | 3 | pysic med | | 7/10/2003 | 3 | | 5/1/2003 | 3 | | 12/20/2004 | 3 | | 2/1/2005 | 3 | | 5/28/2006 | 3 | This isn't a review: Could someone tell me how long it took for the drug to kick in? LAst year when I used it, it helped immediately, when I first used it 3 months ago, it also worked within a few hours. Now, even though I've been still on it, my anxiety has returned. We've increased but i haven't seen anything happen. I'm so confused. Does this mean it's not gonna work? Or does this mean it could still work, just take longer? Or since cuz with my body, it has worked fast, the fact that it hasn't means it won't? I know these are questions for my doc, but I wondered what any of your experiences were. | | 5/15/2009 | 3 | | 8/12/2009 | 2 | headaches n facial pain | Abdominal bloating and pain, fatigue, weight gain, constipation and initially blurred vision. | 43 | 10 days 900 | 7/19/2014 | 2 | | 2/17/2005 | 1 | | 4/23/2004 |
