Too 2 pills 24 hours apart

I discovered the original manufacturer of Neurontin, Parke Davis, went through a lawsuit started by an employee who became a whistleblower, who accused them of violating the False Claims Act. One complaint was, they paid a marketing firm $12,000 for each written endorsement, then they would offer doctors $1,000. if they would claim they had written the ghost written article that ended up in medical journals.  That’s the reason doctors claim it’s safe, non addictive, with no side effects. 

My Dr has sent me to two different medical centers, and even though the recent neurologist ordered the right nerve testing, she claims I have Orthostatic tremors. 

That sounded good to me, until I found other people on a support group who can’t even stand up for a minute because their legs shake so bad, they have to sit down. 

I greeted that doctor in the exam room while standing up. She mainly saw a woman who has arms that punch and my facial movements aren’t normal.

Her main point, “I have been prescribing Gabapentin for many years, and no one has ever developed a movement disorder.” I told her it was a rare side effect, but you’d think I had insulted her best friend. 

I was taking 600 mg 300 mg capsules at night for a very long time years I know it least 6 years maybe 7 years and then when my feet started burning they upped it another 600. And that was 1200 all together and I was on at 4 at least so I can every morning thing now three or four years. And because everybody says it is not addicting I went off of all of it I'm managed to get through a month but not without being very ill and trying to get out of bed very dizzy no appetite cuz I get so sick to my stomach. Yes there were other side effects. Finally I found this group and I was like only side effect for me I want to look on the internet for side effects single one. So I went back on my normal 1200 mg. I still don't have my appetite fully. It also made my anxiety and panic disorder like four times worse. so I have totally given up on the fact that I could get off of the Neurontin because that was a horrible experience and yes it is addicting. And I found shortly after I went back to 1200 my feet started hurting again and they're doing better still bothers me from time to time bothers me from time to time and it's only at night. So I would not be the best person I guess to talk to somebody wants to go off Neurontin.

It's bad stuff, people who have not take it have no clue as to how hard it is to get off of, don't know if I told you Shewholvs, but I went to smoking pot to stop the pain and so I could sleep.  My daughter came and stayed with me for awhile and helped me.  

Yes, I lost 20 lbs, never have put it back on. ringing in ears is going away, burning in skin is gone, feet are almost okay and the rest of the WD symptoms are going too.  Hang in there, it can get better, time is what we all need to win

If I could have smoked pot I would have done it. But I can't because it also heightens anybody who has anxiety and panic disorder most of the time makes it worse. So I truly am afraid trying to do this again. I can't stay in bed all the time I'll be okay for a couple days then I'm back in bed because I'm so dizzy I'm so anxious I'm I have no appetite I'm nauseous and there's just so much and I just don't think I can do it again. So horrible it really scares me.o

I'm happy for you I wish you only the best and keep you in my prayers. I know I'll never get off of it but I'm so glad for all the ones younger than me can do so. Because my silent medical issues really get you. God bless hun

When Gabapentin, 300 mg was prescribed to my husband, within two weeks, the whites of his eyes turned bright red, and painful, so he just stopped it. Fortunately no withdrawals.
