Suzie:  I do not know your email address or I would respond.  My daughter was prescribed neurontin for periodic limb movement syndrome, which is basically restless legs.  The syndrome or whatever it is interrupted her sleep and I would find her up at all times of the night wide awake.  The doctor prescribed the neurontin specifically for the PLMS, but because my daughter has epilepsy neurontin appeared to be a good adjunct AED drug.  Things went fine, until last year when we started playing with her dosages of AED.  She started to report extreme suicidal feelings which I put down to being a teenager. I am know listening a lot more carefully after many dramatic episodes of her saying she was going to kill herself, or acting like she wanted to.  I am removing the neurontin slowly under doctor's advise, and will let you know how it goes.  Please write to me at mrpmurphy@comcast.net





[quote]Hi, I have searched thru these messages and cannot find a single person
who has stated that they have been treated for RLS( restless leg syndrom)
with Neurontin. This is a treatment that is NOT approved by the FDA.
No- I'm not dead and No I have not tried suicide- except in my head.
Yes- I am depressed and yes I am worried, as these thoughts are becomming more and more frequent. My family seems to watch me with more concern everyday. I am also on Trazodone which is (as I understand it a form of an antidepressant)

Please- Please respond if you have been prescribed Neurontin for RLS
and does anyone know what dossage it would take for me to actually follow thru with my thoughts??? I currently take 900mgs. [/quote]

PRESCRIPTION DRUG FRAUD

 

Are Prescription Drugs the Greatest Scam in America?

It is a known fact that there is more profit tacked onto prescription drugs than almost any other product sold in the United States today -- sometimes the profits to drug companies amount to 1000% or more of the cost of each pill.

And yet, some of these "safe, FDA-approved drugs" can kill you.  But if you pay so much for them, and the FDA has approved them, the MUST be safe, mustn't they?  Don't be so gullible!  Wake up!  OPEN YOUR EYES!

Here is a typical case with the "acclaimed" Prozac-generation of prescription "anti-depressant" drugs. Only those totally brainwashed by such drug use or by drug companies could not see the warnings in this reader submission: --

------------------------------------------------------------------

I believe I have the worst fraud you'll come across.  It is a group of antidepressants
called SSRI'S -- and Prozac is the first marketed and the one I know the most about.

There are terrible side effects from these SSRI'S that can cause Suicide and Violence.
My family lost our Father to Suicide due to an adverse reaction to Prozac.
Since his death we have been in touch with several Attorneys and members
of the medical field. At least 7 to 10% of people who are taking SSRI'S will
will have an adverse reaction and become Suicidal or Violent.

So far according to Dr. David Healy  from the University of Wales, 50,000 people
have commited Suicide due to adverse reactions.The real problem is that the
Pharmacutical companies settle there cases out of court for huge amounts of
money, and they are bedfellows with the FDA.

They write their own articles for publication in medical journals.
The articles are written by drug company researchers, given to a outside
doctor to review and sign his or her name to then submitted to a journal, and
the doctors are paid to do this from the drug companies.

The Drug companies are making so much money that they can cover up whatever
they don't want the public to know about. Drs. are also paid in various ways to write
out precriptions -- from trips, to thousands of dollars, just to get people who don't
need to be on these drugs to use them. They tell you that these drugs are not
addictive, but I also know first hand that they are, and you have to be weened
off them very slowly, or they can cause terrible side effects.

One of my sources of information is Dr. Anne Blake Tracy phd.  She has studied
SSRI'S and their side effects for 11 years, and is one of the most knowledgable
people in her field.  You can e-mail her at atracyphd or go to her web site at
www.drugawareness.org.  Somebody has to bring this out to the public -- so
many people are dying and the drug companies are getting away with murder.
