| 2 | All over body pain | Initially I experienced improved sleep and improved ability to fall asleep. Then I had a few days in which my pain was greatly reduced, had a lot more energy, and my mood was elevated for the first time in many months. Then, suddenly I started to spiral downward. Pain went up, sleep worsened, had lots of nightmares but what was worse was severe and dangerous mood changes. I was suicidal, desperate, impulsive, crying all of the time. Unfortunately, I can no longer take this drug and am disappointed since it looked very promising at first. | F | 43 | 30 days 400 mg 1X day | 1/16/2012 | 4 | Memory loss, fuzzy vision at times and water retention. But I will take the side affects to have the relief this drug has helped with my severe anxiety , my fatigue,muscle and joint pain and my IC. Before starting Neurotin, i slept ALOT and had much pain and fatigue. I slept all the time before Neurotin and since on it i have energy. | F | 38 | 2 years 600 3X day | 12/28/2011 | 1 | chronic pain in my back | I wake up feeling 50 lbs. heavier. My back feels like a truck ran over me. Tired all day. No enthusiasm. My pain has increased by 100%. I have to take more of my normal pain med.s just to be able to move around. I spend more time in bed on my back than ever. Normally when I lay down I feel no pain, But now I'm hurting alot while laying down. The first coulple of days I was feeling much better - by the 5th day I was miserable and have been ever since. I refuse to take this drug any more. This is unactceptable to feel this lethargic. I'm angry at my doctor for not informing me of these potentional side effects. I do know of a natural product that has amazeing healing properties and will not have anyone. Its an antioxident - the second highest in pureity and is only developed in Europe. I've seen living proof of some amazeing things it WILL DO! Its known as the TRUE FOUNTAIN of YOUTH. The write ups on this product you take daily in a capsule (have to take a certain mg. at least - never been any, and I mean any adverse write ups. I have taken it for years and I can attest to it. Email me and I will tell you where to find it. Its not expensive. AND, you can read absolutely everything written about it. One little secret about it is that I have never been sick in the last 7 years. Even when I have stopped it for a while and then started back up. It reverses the ageing process from the inside out. Arthritis and DJD (degenerative joint diease, etc. PS: I've had a career in the med | F | 52 | 1 weeks 600/daily | 12/25/2011 | 5 | Nerve pain | Decrease pain, decrease anxiety/depression,increased libido. | F | 30 | 1 weeks 400 3x | 12/20/2011 | 1 | Idiopathic peripheral neuropathy | I'm taking 100 mg 3 times per day. I can handle the dizziness & unsteady feeling when I walk, mostly because I think it would probably go away once my body became accustomed to the drug. It's the fact that I've noticed that the burning pain & tingling in my feet & hands has WORSENED (dramatically) since starting Neurontin. I'm going to try giving Neurontin two weeks to see if my body just needs to "adjust" to it, but if the pain stays this bad or, God forbid, worsens anymore, I'm telling my Neurologist that I refuse to take it. | F | 43 | 3 days 300 mg | 12/10/2011 | 5 | Nerve damage in leg and foot | Not sure but have joint pain in fingers | F | 52 | 7 months 800 mg | 12/8/2011 | 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 | 1 | Herniated disc pinching nerve | Severe bloating, shakey, flu like symptoms, fuzzy eyes, extreme diareah | F | 51 | 3 days 300 mg 3x | 11/26/2011 | 3 | mood order | being slightly paranoid, insomnia | F | 32 | 900mg 3X AN | 11/25/2011 | 2 | migrains, nerve pain | short term memory loss, word finding problems, lack of motivation, apathy, depression, inablity to concetrate or multi-task, weight gain | While this drug has decreased my nerve pain and migraines I have had such severe memory loss, poor concentration and word finding problems I am weaning myself off of it. I am a nurse and the memory problems are so severe it is affecting my work. I thought that I was getting early onset dememtia. It is not worth continuing this medication for the little positive benefit it has given me. Beware of the dangerous drug! | F | 53 | 1.5 years 300mg 3X day | 11/24/2011 | 1 | Interstitial Cystitis | Inability to Orgasm....makes your genitals NUMB | It worked for the pain, but if you want an orgasm FORGET IT. You will loose ALL your sensitivity. I have since been off this medication for 3 weeks and I still am having trouble. I think it has caused PERMANENT nerve damage to my genitals. I didn't have this problem before. This has me very worried. | F | 43 | 2 months 200 1X day | 11/16/2011 | 5 | Pain in lower back, butt, and leg | Felt really tired at first but I think it's getting better everyday. | It has helped the pain a lot for me. I can still feel it but it is very dull. It makes it easier for me to tolerate and I can sleep better at night. | F | 38 | 1 weeks 300 3X day | 11/14/2011 | 3 | femoral neuropathy from blood clot | Severe memory loss, word searching, not thinking clearly, feeling physically drunk without the head trip about 6 hours after dosage, feeling apathy and laziness and feeling no guilt about it. | I took Neurotin for a short spell about 10 years ago and noticed the apathy and memory problems then. It took a few years, but my memory returned to normal even though some memories were lost forever. It's more severe now because of the duration. The nerve pain without the drug is atrocious even with pain medication which I take in limited amounts. I miss my keen mind and memory and I can't attribute it to age. | F | 66 | 8 months 600 1X day | 11/7/2011 | 3 | S/P laminectomy,severe sciatic pain | Sleepiness, dizziness, very vivid dreams, dry mouth, and cry at the drop of a hat. | Dizziness not as bad after 2 weeks at this dose, vivid dreams continue as does the sleepiness, vivid dreams, dry mouth and crying jags. The medication helps somewhat but I continue to need to take Percocet with it, and at this time, I can still only stand for 20-30 minutes, and sit for 5-10 minutes, without the pain becoming very severe again. I am concerned about some of the other side effects that I have read about, particularly the memory loss. | F | 55 | 4 weeks 300 mg 3X day | 11/7/2011 | 1 | Neuralgia in feet, legs | The only side effect was sudden and radical absence of ability to orgasm. That was bad enough to stop taking this PRONTO!!! The difference was so severe and noticeable. | I work in the erotic business so absence of an orgasm would pretty much ruin my career. I can't really speak to how effective it is--my neuralgia was not nearly bad enough to warrant this horrifying and depressing side effect. I've been off it four days and praise be my ability is coming back--somewhat. I am just praying it returns to full strength soon! | F | 47 | 1 weeks 100MG 2X day | 10/25/2011 | 3 | Shingles / Post Herpetic Neuralgia | Drowsy, memory loss, made me extremely relaxed and high, like being stoned more than drunk. | It does seem to take the edge off the pain but the cost is that it turns me into a foggy idiot. My job, software development, is very brain intensive and I do a lot of multitasking. I found it very hard to get anything done at 3x300mg doses. 3x200mg is only slighly better. Problem is that it seems to wear off all of the sudden at about the 6 hour point, when the pain comes back. So, I'm frustrated that this is masking the pain and making me high, but isn't doing much in the long term relief department. | F | 49 | 1X day | 9/29/2011 | 4 | Anxiety | Dry mouth | I have just been taking this for a week now. I am very impressed with its effectiveness. Since I was 15 I have had terrible anxiety. This medication has taken that away. I do notice that I am able to work out harder and longer. I notice that I sleep much better, waking rested. My appetite has not increased, may have decreased a bit even. So far, I love this medication. I know I am less sharp but the anxiety help has been well worth some brain cells! | F | 38 | 7 days 100 mg 3X day | 9/28/2011 | 2 | Nerve damage after surgery | Weight gain, development of spots, big appetite, no sleep, constantly tired, loss of concentration, mood swings, crying, suicidal thoughts, violence | It's been horrible and I came off it after I realised that the side effects just weren't worth the little pain relief I was getting. My pain sporadically got worse on occasion and in general, it didn't give me the relief I am in need of. | F | 18 | 3 months 900mg 4X day | 9/12/2011 | 4 | Back surgery, general pain | None imparticular. Other meds are partially to blame. | I must be sure to get a little walk every day and eat on schedule. Very helpful in coping with stress, nerve pain, migraines. | F | 78 | 2 years 300mg 3X day | 9/7/2011 | 2 | nerve pain | tooth decay | F | 60 | 900mg 3X day | 9/4/2011 |
