Neurontin

Neurontin , also medically known as gabapentin, is used in the treatment of seizures associated with epilepsy . This type of drug may also be used in adults to alleviate nerve pain following a herpes zoster infection.

Neurontin is taken in the form of a capsule, usually three times a day, according to your doctors prescription.

Common side effects users may experience when taking this type of medication include headache, drowsiness, fatigue, tremor, blurred vision and anxiety. If the side effects do not go away, contact your doctor for assistance.

Neurontin may also be prescribed for other purposes, as suggested by your doctor.

I take neurontin and need to order some

I was just prescribed Gabapentin 300 mg for pain, severe muscle spasms in my right shoulder and right upper extremity. I experience numbness and tingling in my right major hand thumb, index, and middle fingers. I had a recent MRI of which I should find out the results next week. I have been reluctant to start the prescription regime without actually knowing my MRI results and especially regarding some of the side-effects. My appointment is on 2/10/09 for Musculoskeltal consult; so should I start before my appointment? I just have a thing about possibly masking the symptoms without knowing what is actually wrong with me. Thank you

Dr. said Neurontin was not habit forming, but I am beginning to wonder. Helps with pain, sometimes light headed a bit, but helps me sleep really sound. Trouble is, I miss a pill one night and can't sleep at all that night.

I am glad i read these comments, after seeing the primary uses for neurontin, i was thinking my doctor new something that i did not. I was hit by a drunk driver and my neurologist prescribed the med. last year, but now after an MRI he said that he saw no significant nerve damage. Should I stop taking neurontin now? Hes thinking lupus now? Should I get a second oppinion?

neurontin is also prescribed for nerve damage that has nothing to do with seizers nor herpes.neuropathy/neuropathic chronic pain

can Gabapentin cause weight gain/fluid retention?

I am taking Neurontin after having been on Lyrica and experiencing tremendous water retention and weight gain. I am much clearer functioning on Neurpntin and overall less nerve pain. I have lost 15 pounds.
