Gabapentin which is generic for Neurontin is medication recommended for several serious health problems including neuropathy for diabetics. It is available in capsules, tablets and an oral solution.

Therer are some serious side effects including dizziness, sleepiness, fatique and nausea. The side effects go on and on includng depression and possible dry skin problems.

Pregnant and nursing mothers and people with any renal problems need to really way the good with the bad.

My personal experience is this is really a good medication for my needs. I am a diabetic and suffer from nerve damage in the feet and legs from neuropathy. The pain can really be dibilitating. It takes about 3 weeks of taking this medication before it starts working. I don't mind the side effects since I have sleep issues and it really doesn't affect me in any way derogatory. I've never suffered the nausea problem.

This medication can even be taken by chi;dren as young as 3! I would suggest you check the possible...

Neurontin
(Generic Name ~ Gabapentin)

Two years ago, I was injured in the hospital with an IV needle to my left foot. Since then I have been battling severe pain in my foot. I was diagnosed with Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (also called Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy Syndrome) and nerve damage almost a year and half ago. I've been taking Neurontin for the past year to help relieve the pain. I‘m on two different dosages ~ I take 100mg in the mornings and 300mg at night.

About The Neurontin (Gabapentin)~
You should not use Neurontin if you are allergic to Gabapentin or have kidney, liver, or heart disease. This medication was developed to help control certain types of seizures in patients who have epilepsy. It treats seizures by decreasing abnormal excitement in the brain.

Since 2002, Neurontin has been used to relieve the pain of postherpetic neuralgia (burning, stabbing pain or aches) and nerve related pain. This medication has also had success in treating certain instances of Complex Regional...

LoveisJoy says "Neurontin Takes the Edge Off Nerve Pain" about Neurontin In Generic form it is Gabapentin

Neurontin was initially prescribed to treat seizures in those suffering from epilepsy. Its use has expanded to treat people suffering from neuropathic pain, bipolar disorder, migraine, and multiple sclerosis (MS).

I began taking Neurontin before it became available in generic form (Gabapentin). My neurologist at the time told me that it was a "wonder drug" that had proven immensely helpful in combating certain symptoms of MS. Several years later, I would say that it hasn't exactly been a miracle or without side effects, but it has greatly reduced my nerve pain, spasticity, and chronic paresthesia (otherwise known as the pins-as-needles sensation).

Everyone who lives with MS learns that the disease takes many different forms. Certain symptoms will be a recurring problem, while other potential MS symptoms will never come up in a particular individual. Early on in my disease progression, it became apparent that nerve pain, sensory disturbances and spasticity would be continual challenges...

riddles4gollum says "1st stabilizer to work without "flatlining" me" about Neurontin In Generic form it is Gabapentin

I have been taking Neurontin for about 8 years now for bipolar disorder. I am one of those folks out there who is intolerant to almost all psychiatric medications. I have taken the SSRI's, tricyclics, old and new antipsychotics, tranquilizers, and of course mood stablizers. I had to stop every single one due to intolerable (and sometimes downright BIZARRE side effects). Other mood stabilizers tend to cause a sort of "flat line" effect. They take care of the mania and depression by causing my brain to feel no emotion, which for me, is not an acceptable way to live.

Neurontin helps stabilize me by lowering the overall range of swings I get. I still get a little high and a little low, but not too far in either direction. I cannot think of any side effects that I have experienced except occassional concentration problems and forgetfullness (but that's also part of my disorder).

Every bipolar is different, and all of our imbalances are caused by different triggers. Neurontin specifically targets......

Neurontin
(Gabapentin)

When I was first diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, my Rheumatologist prescribed Neurontinto take once a day. Many people with Fibromyalgia have had great results with Neurontin.

Not me.

Neurontinmade me feel very tired, confused and gave me a massive headache! I called my Rheumatologist immediately who asked me to hang with it...that it helps so many. So I kept it up for two more weeks. I was a mess. He took me off and immediately, I felt better.

Neurontinwas originally for people who suffer from Epilepsy. Neurontin is another drug that helps the Central Nervous System "relax" for lack of a better word.

Everyone, that has confided in me, who has tried Neurontin has had horrible side effects and have not continued on with the medication.

Wonder where my Rheumatologist got his info from??

Neurontin is not a habit forming or addictive prescription drug.

Neurontin or Gabapentin as the generic is called was originally used to treat certain seizures associated with epilepsy. In recent years it has also been used to control nerve pain as well as many other things. To name a few....bi-polar disorder, relieve the pain of diabetic neuropathy , and to treat and prevent hot flashes (sudden strong feelings of heat and sweating) in women who are being treated for breast cancer or who have experienced menopause. It seems to be an all around type drug.

I suffer from multiple pain sites, I have had 5 surgeries in the past 13 years. Three of them were nerve related and the other two were on my knees. I also managed to rip almost every muscle in my back and suffer from trigger point induced nerve pain in my upper back. Now add Fibromylagia to that and you have a lot of pain. For years I was on loratab, darvocet, celebrex, tylenol 3 and a few others, now I am using Gabapentin and Fentenyl.

To wean me off of the loratabs of which I was on 4 a day......
