Warning for all. My 17 year old daughter was given this medication in February 2008 to help in the prevention of her migraines. In a couple of days her entire personality changed, she was rude to us, shut herself in her room and all her mostly A's took a nose dive at school. After about two weeks of this behavior I took her to a family therapist we had used in the past because I didn't know what was wrong with her. After six weeks of being on Neurotin she went to school, while in class she asked her teacher to go to the counselors. She then told the counselor that she had been having strange thoughts and some were suicidal thoughts and almost slit her throat in our kitchen while my husband and I slept. The school called and I decided to do a check on Neurotin, and it was after she started the medication that they posted this side effect. It was a good thing she happen to have an appointment that day with her neurologist to see how she was doing on this. She was immediatly taken off it, she did have several days of withdrawl. By the end of the week she was her old self. Thank God. Also know she gained 15 pounds while on neurotin.
