There's nothing wrong with Neurontin, you have no basis to sue the manufacturers.  Hell, youre even still taking it.  Sue your doctor if you want quick cash.

i was prescribed neurontin for my intercostal neuraglia.  I have found that there is one side effect that is NOT listed.  this drug will cause a LOW BLOOD SUGAR ATTACK, in anyone who has diabetis or hypoglcemia.  I contacted the manufacturer of this drug, and they said it will cause the low blood sugar attack.  I asked why it was not on the list of side effects.  They could not tell me.

A doctor prescribed neurotin for me and so I filled it. (Dx: Cervical radiculopthy/neuropathy?) I took the first dose and about an hour and a half later I found myself in the middle of a mall, wondering around, unable to even figure out what was wrong or who I was!  Finally got someone to call my son, who came to get me and I hardly could walk I felt so "out of it"-dizzy, with a very "heavy" feeling all over my body!  Plus I was so confused!  This was in February 2003 and I was never told anything about the drug, except that it would help me with the pain!!
Are there individual suits currently or class action suits that are going on?  I would like to know also if the pharmacutical company was allowing it to be prescribed for pain as I had at the time of my awful reaction to this drug?  Thanks!!

Anyone else that was prescibed neurontin for bi polar disorder?  I took it for around 2 years for bi polar.  I kept telling them i didnt want to take it because even when i asked the doctors how it worked they said they didnt know.  They kept persuading me to take though it as well as did my parents  so I went ahead and took it anyways.  They told me the hazy feeling I got from taking it was a side effect of the drug working.  But I told them I didnt experience any noticable improvement and during that time i nearly commited suicide and dropped out of my college classes.  You can imagine how miffed I was when i found out the drug was BS as I had suspected all along.  When your bi polar its hard to tell if a drug is causing difficulties in your life and this was one of the worst peroids in my life so i dont know if its the drugs fault or not.  It was the only time I attempted to commit suicide but i thought it was jsut becasue I was very depressed at the time.  I definelty had side effects with this drug nd it seems too much of a coicidence that  my mental state got so much worse during the peroid i was on this medication.

HEY ANGELNETTIE..HOW MANY MG WERE YOU PRESCRIBED??? YOU WERE TAKING IT 3X DAILY?

TO ALL: I HAVE BEED PRESCRIBED 3600 MG DAILY, I TAKE 1200 3X'S A DAY. WHAT SIDE AFFECTS WOULD I EXPERIENCE. I HAVE A HISTORY OF CUTTING MYSELF BUT USUALLY SOMETHING PRECIPITATED IT, HOWEVER, I HAVE REPEATEDLY CUT MYSELF FOR REALLY NO REASON, IT IS LIKE I FLIPPED OUT, PANICKING...ANYWHO, IT WAS A BAD SCENE. I RARELY GET OUT OF THE HOUSE, STILL DEPRESSED LIKE HELL, FOGGY AND TIRED. YA KNOW, ITS HARD TO TELL WHETHER WHAT A PERSON IS EXPERIENCING IS A DIRECT RESULT OF THE PRESCRIBED DRUG. I JUST DONT KNOW WHAT TO THINK, ALL I  KNOW IS THAT I THINK I AM ON A HEAP LOAD OF DRUGS, AND AM WONDERING IF THEY ARE DOING MORE HARM THAN GOOD.
PLEASE, SOME OF YOU OUT THERE, TELL ME HOW MANY MG YOU WERE PRESCRIBED, AND SIDE EFFECTS.
YOU'LL TAKE CARE, DAISY
