 3  Drug and Alcohol Addiction brain fog, forgetfulness, memory loss, loss of feeling, tingling in hands and chest I leave the car running, I drive past my freeway exit, I forget my sister's kids names, I sometimes feel high on it, I have very little emotion about anything although I do take prosac as well. I take 2400 mg throughout the day (800 mg 3 times a day). It has helped my craving for drugs in an incredible way and have been sober a year now. BUT, I just tatood my father's name on my back and spelled it wrong. I am not that stupid. Is it the neurontin? F 39 16 months

 2  Benzo withdrawal / substitution Horrible Withdrawal symptoms, blurred vision Titrated upward and upward and upward...eventually to 800mg x 3 daily then 1600mg at bed time (4000mg/day). Did not have any full blown seizures during benzodiazepine withdrawal, but this did not work at all for the anxiety and panic attacks that I was on the benzo for to begin with (which worked wonders). M 26 9 months

 3  ghb addiction + social/anxiety clouding of short-term memory/recall, slight wooziness & prickly feeling, addiction, dependence I take more than 4g per day, and want to get off, but when doses are lowered or too far apart, I feel terrible. need to find something less addictive, that will help me get off neurontin. my doc has told me to take benzos when I feel the need to take more neurontin, but they depress me. He is in a quandary. Is there something that can help get you off neurontin that won't depress you, or addict you? M 35 2 years
