I am totally suprised at the various things Neurontin is prescribe for. Neurontin is an anti-seziour medication. I am taking Neurontin, Lamictal for Bipolor as they say...which I truely do not believe in diagnoses at all. I just attended an all day conference put on by Dr. Glasser, intitaled, also his book, "Danger, Psychiatry can be dangerous to your mental health." The pharmicutical companies are making lots of money off of us since we are ginipigs. I have expereinced on anti-psychotic, Prolixin, shouldn't be on in the first place, only 2nights..spent two hrs in ER. As for Paxil gained 100lbs on (Jan97-Aug.02), & when tapered of had withdrawal symptoms (week after I started withdrawal, I saw a story about it on 20/20) even though withdrawal symptoms left it took me a yr to recover, whats positive of getting off the med, I have lost the 100lbs, + 5 more. Depakote, also caused some weight gain and some hair loss (taken off this before yr before paxil) One thing dr. never tell you is the long term effects or if there is any withdrawals. I think the best way is to learn the ends and outs of all your medications you are taking. You know your body better then they do. Even if prescribe medication, learn all u can about it before taking it. Expecially the medications that effects your brain. I also feel that some of this medications can cause harm to a brain. You do have choices and its your life. (There is much more to this story about me, for example, pinch nerve in neck for 13yrs). If u would like to know more about me or have any questions I will be more then happy to reply back. ******
