       I HAVE BEEN ON IT PROBABLY ABOUT 15+ YRS AND NEUOLOGIST PERSCRIBES IT FOR ME. I GOT SOME OF THE SIDE EFFECTS, CLUMMNIESS, TWITCHING HANDS, ETC. A NEIGHBOR OF MINE SAY THE AD ON TV THE OTHER NIGHT ABOUT PEOPLE ON NEURONTIN COULD HAVE SUICIDAL THINGS ETC. I CALLED MY PRO BONO LAWYER AND HE CONTACTED SOMEONE ELSE WHO SAID WE GOT A CASE.

JANET

I saw a brief ad on TV today for a number starting at 1-877 but I don't remember the rest for the lawyer thing. I am no longer on Nuerontin as of November 2003. I have short & long term memory problems even now. My hands still shake at times. I was originally put on Seizure medication in 1999. I was involved in an auto accident in November of 1997. Exactly 2 months later, I had a seizure in my sleep. Then I didn't experience another seizure for 1 1/2 years later. I went to see a neurologist and he put me on seizure medication at that time. Because of this, I now have Epilepsy because he put me on seizure medication which I found out that he never should have. Unfortunately, I have ever done anything about this because I don't know who or where to turn to. Can anybody tell me the number to call that was on TV and where I can get help for the above info if any. Thanx.   :oops:  :evil:  :-?  :cry:

again,  good luk hun

My six year old son was put on neurontin, then keppra, and now depekote.  We found out by taking he to a new doctor that he over medicated.  He has become very angry and not him self.  No one really talks about this stuff.  I am at the end of my rope.  :evil:

My son has focal seizures and that is at night.  No one would do a MRI until now.  He has a cyct in his left side of the brain.

my son has been on neruontin for four months along with keppra, and now starting depkote to get get him off the keppra and then neurontin.  I never new the side effects were to be this bad.  I see mood changes on my son.  Huge mood changes.  Doctors are not GOD.

Hi force1995!  I found a website that compares all anticonvulsants. www.painrecoveryonline.com. I clicked onthe RSD/CRPS link, then I clicked on anticonvulsants. Up pops a screen and it breaks it down in to the years that the FDA approved these drugs by years--before 1993, 1993-1998,  & after 1998. Choose which drug you want to look up and it displays all the anticonvulsants for that time frame w/ side affects etc.  Hope this helps somewhat Skooze

[I just lost my 16 year old son Chris from a prescription drug overdose, because of Neurontin. He had been self mutilating himself ,with violent moodswings ever since the doctor started him on it. I just hope that his short life will inspire me to help others see the real evil Pfizer and the other drug companies are distributing![/quote]

:evil:  I was prescribed Neurontin for severe leg pain, I have had three back surgeries, and have two implants in my back. My pain management Doctor prescribed it for me, telling me it would help reduce my pain. What it did was made me very depressed. I went on a cruise for my mothers 80th birthday, and almost jumped overboard because of the severe depression on was in> I also experienced terrible dizziness and lack of control over my legs they felt like they were going out from under me all the time. I also had trouble walking, I kept falling to the right or left when I would walk. Please let me know if anyone out there knows the name of the law firm who is handling a class action suit regarding the use of Neurontin.  Thank you

:cry: I was on the drug neurontin for about six months they prescribed it for my bi polar disorder. It did more worse then good me and my parents noticed traumatic changes in my mood I would snap at anyone and anything I even tried to commit suicide in my class room I have never even thought about doing it before let alone trying so today I heard on TV about the drug and what happened on dateline so I contacted a lawyer.
:-?

I have been on Neurontin for about 4 years. It was prescribed to me as a mood stabilizer for my BiPolar. This drug has slowly ruined my life. And now to find all this new information out about the kickbacks and prescribing for the wrong ailments has me extremely upset.
I have contacted online websites regarding the matter of the lawsuit. Just wondering if there is a website where I could file my own complaint through the drug company or if there is a trust set up for this yet ( as I did with the Phen Fen nightmare) rather than getting/paying a lawyer and doing all the paperwork myself?
My heart goes out to you all that have been or are still living in hell with Neurontin.
