Ok.. I've been Neurontin for three or four years up to 800 mg 5 times a day for glossopharyngeal neuralgia (extreme Pain in one of the cranial nerves in the throat) any way when the symptoms go into remission i back off from tacking the drug... Since this is my third time coming off I have really tried to pay attention to the feelings and sensations surrounding sided effects.. The biggest thing that I have noticed is more of an emotional problem. the drug seems to make everything OK.. or mountains seem like mole hills. my first time I came off, I had a hard time sleeping and would find myself crying over nothing... I just couldn't cope with my own mind. I feel like the drug subdued everything, The fog or haze it puts you in sorta makes the whole world a wonderful place. I have lost my sex drive and have a hard time working now.. I'm going off it again slowly and am having a hard time completely letting go because it has kept me from being depressed.. I feel more depressed when coming off neuronton than I did on it. I believe long time use of the drug is some what emotionally addictive.. Just be prepared to feel your emotions again once you are off.
