Neurontin, which is known generically as Gabapentin, may be linked to suicide and suicide attempts. Neurontin is prescribed for epilepsy but has been prescribed for numerous off label uses. Neurontin was approved for sale in the mid-1990s as a treatment for epileptic seizures. However, it is believed that approximately 80 percent of all Neurontin prescriptions were filled for unapproved medical conditions.

If you or a loved one was injured by Neurontin, please complete the free case inquiry form on the right side of this page.

neurontin...arrested for drunk driving

I am a teacher of special needs children in Northeast Mississippi for 20 years, I was prescribed Neurontin for some arthritis pain. Driving to store, I had a reaction to Neruontin, arrested by a highway patrolman, handcuffed, placed in county jail and left for over 8 hours without being check. They thought I was drunk. Was released and worse then than when they arrested me. They have charged me with reckless driving and DUI.

Any suggestions or help?
