 5  I made neorontin what it is today Man I didn't invent them but I made them what they are to this day I'm the patient that had the doctor turn it up full blast cause I loved the buzz. It made me forget I was fd up. It made me stand on my paralyzed legs and made me feel stoned and fast speed driving. Every tweak was made for me and only me. You are welcome world for the buzz I've guven u. Sorry to those that are appoled by this but I didn't think they would leave them in the market cause I told them to or sell or market to disorders I thought they could be used for without testing it.

 5  Nerve pain from shingles This medication really helps my nerve pain without upsetting my stomach like NSAIDS .It does make me feel a bit silly, like I’ve had a glass or two of wine. That’s fine with me because I’m retired. I’m not sure I’d want to work with these side effects- lol. If I take less I don’t feel the side effects, but I also don’t get the pain relief. I’m sure the effects wear off after you get used to the medication. This is a very good medication for nerve pain for me. I have had other nerve pain and opioid medication doesn’t work as well.

 5  Proctalgia fugax, bunion pain, ibs- Dry mouth, double vision I increased the dose to 300mg a day. I also take 195mg trimipramine and 5 mg amitriptyline. I have cfs/ME since having severe viral infection 3 decades ago. Constant urgency has been very distressing. Been on numerous gut meds but this helps the most. I notice I am calmer. Still anxious about travel in case the bowels go.hopefully this will lessen over time. I now have some control over when I go. If I take a couple of cups of tea I end up going to the loo. Prior to gabapentin I was going numerous times a day and had to be very careful about what I eat. I can also eat a bigger range of foods without having to run to the loo. M 51 10 months

 5  nerve pain disc disease no lasting side effects. I felt a little sleepy and had blurred vision until I adjusted to it. It has helped a lot with some of the pain, and it stopped hot flashes. I'm long past menopause but I had severe hot flashes and shooting nerve pain like being stabbed. Both of these stopped with the neurontin. F 72 3 years

 5  Neuropathy in Both Arms Carb cravings, some weight gain This medication has DRASTICALLY improved the quality of my life. I was taking tramadol 3 times a day and barely getting any relief. I am practically pain free now and I was able to stop the tramadol. F 48 1 months

 5  Initially for migraines & insomnia None that I'm aware; no weight gain or ill effects. Although not its intended purpose I've seen a 100% reversal of my severe social anxiety (that I've had since I was a kid and assumed was just me being me). I also noticed a decrease in migraines and my hand tremors. It has been about 2 years now that I've been on this medication, currently at 900mg/taken once a day at night. It is honestly the best of the MANY medications I've been prescribed and usually react badly to. I only hope that it continues to work well! I was prescribed gabapentin as another effort to help my migraines, tremors and severe insomnia; Dr's are unsure at this time (5 years post initial disability) whether my primary condition causing problems is my brain tumor & lesions, or early onset MS although it is possibly that it's a little bit of both.

 5  fibromyalgia, debilitating pain Euphoria, almost complete pain relief (better than vicodin or tramadol combined) some trouble with memory, like difficulty finding a word occasionally, drowsiness at nighttime (great, helped my insomnia completely) some tingling/numbness in right hand This drug has been a miracle drug for me. I went from tears everyday from pain, to feeling great and able to play with my young children again!!! F 32 1 months

 5  Anxiety and Depression Weight Gain If you suffer from anxiety or depression don't walk, RUN to your doctor and get this stuff. It is astonishing. For the first time in my life I am ABSOLUTELY comfortable in my own skin. I've tried them all and this stuff is a Godsend. Funny, it does nothing for my foot pain. I have (so far) gained 10 pounds and I don't really care. M 53 21 days

 5  Migraine Prevention Very little, besides some tiredness and dry mouth when 1st starting. This subsided in a few weeks. About a dozen previous migraine preventative medications were tried and did little. Hydrocodone/immitrex was the only treatment and those are expensive or not pleasant to take! This is not perfect, but reduces the frequency about 60%, greatly reducing the need for other meds and their side effects. Even though its not perfect it gets a five because it has negligible side effects and little tolerance and withdraw issues if ceasing. M 35 4 months

 5  ulcerative colitis Can't communicate my thoughts easily. Spaced out. Ringing in the ears. Dropping everything. Lots of weight gain and swelling of hands/feet. Marijuana intensifies the sife effects. Worth it all. I was unable to eat or drink anything for 2 days, when I begged my doctor to try it. Not sure how it helps colitis pain (my guess is that it's nerve related...duh), but it definitely does! F 38 2 months
