All those anti-seizure meds messed me up. I couldn't handle any of them. Then again I seem to get every side effect possible from any med I take. Only thing I'm on is Valium and it is completely useless for me, unless you like having horrible withdrawal and no emotions. As many of you, I have tried everything and am terrified to have another surgery.
On a better not my mother n law takes neurontin and has no problems with it. If I take it I start to drool on myself.

Never heard of that one! Have you tried Lyrica? For me, no difference and I too and the side effect queen.
Good luck, Dale

re drooling
When I tried Ambien to get to sleep I was so busy drooling on myself and then trying to swallow the drool that I couldn't sleep!!! So yes~ maybe not with neurontin however with a different drug I had the serious drool problem too!! I remember when my PCP asked me how I did with Ambien and I said I couldn't sleep because I was awake drooling and swallowing drool all night.. well obviously not the sleep drug of choice for me!!!

I had a morontin moment today. I went for a walk in pajama tops, at least i had put shorts on earlier. I noticed it when i got to town, i live in a small town. I was pretty embarrassed, but continued my walk!
