AAAUUUGHHH!!!! for 2 stinking years i have been taking this garbage that was perscribed by a neurologist for a nerve condition in my face called trigeminal neuralgia. I went all the way up to 1100 mgs a day, had to take 2 hour naps after each hour i was up. nearly fell asleep driving the carpool.....then even took a cruise alone fully planning to throw myself overboard, when i chickened out I rented a hotel room and swallowed all kinds of pills and instead of sweet sleep 6 ft. under i woke up the next day.......which is when i started contemplating driving myself over a cliff off the fwy i pass each day. for TWO years I have been so depressed and feeling worthless and better off dead i have for the most part stayed in bed. I am young, rich, work was a hobby, yet...this little pill, i come to find out ,took the years that should have been the time of my life away from me and NO ONE told me of this possible side effect!
at least now i know i am not nuts, i can get my life back, and i have all the money in the world to take these bastards to years of court, bad publicity and make them PAY!!!!!!
screw this!!!!

That is awful, unfortunately your not alone.. I was taking 4800mg a day. talk about a nut, I was one for sure.
I want to take them to court and dont have the money, you definately have an advantage. The reason i dont have the money is because of ALL the damn side effect of this drug i am now disabled. Go figure.
Where are you located, i noticed TN. The doctor that gave this to me is in TN.....what are the odds?

I'm from Tennessee, too. I was on Neurontin and was so suicidal that I ended up in the hospital for six weeks with 12 ECT treatments!!! My husband said he kept telling the doctor that the medication was bad for me. I don't remember all of that. A side effect of ECT is memory loss, and I am still living with that problem today. I will have memory problems for the rest of my life due to that damn drug! I can't remember recipes I cooked for years, movies I've seen, many times things that are extremely embarrassing when I am out in public. I never know what I don't know. I tell people I know to just stop me when I start repeating something I have already told them. I am on disability, too. I will never be able to go back to the high level job that I had in the past. My education is as an RN, I would be lethal taking care of a patient with everything that I have forgotten. I have put a clay studio in my home, and have had to relearn the basics of throwing three times. It gets so discouraging. I can't see a life ahead of me anymore that is productive.
