This freaks me out reading all of these...I just expierenced something.... I was in the hospital because they thought I had a stroke. I am only 26 years old. My whole right side when numb and weak and it was my leg, arm, and face, and lips, nose, and eye areas. It then went away after 48 hours. They have no idea what it was. they have done MRI's and ruled out Bells Palsey and tons of stuff. I also see flashing lights so they are starting to lean towards migraines. The only weird thing is that I went in a while ago for extreme belly pain burning and they found that my liver was enlarged. Now, someone else above mentioned these stroke like symptoms and the enlarged liver. I also get strange thoughts. I am on Neurontin 2100 MG for anxiety. Anyone have any advice? ******

Hmm.... Had a similar accident. Some specialists thought it was a TIA attack. I concur. I couldn't even speak properly. Interesting that you take neurontin for anxiety. I see that is one of its listed uses. there is some strange illness in my family that seems to fit into the neurology, rheumatology and endochronology field. the only things I can tell you from first hand experience is that my mother lost her vision in her left eye within 8 hrs of taking neurontin because her blood pressure skyrocketted. It does not take away stress for her or myself. Within 8 hours of myself taking neurontin for the damned chronic pain, I got my very first high blood pressure headache and then it triggered a migraine. Do you take a lot tylonal or anythign like that? I know naturopaths seem to have a lot to say about the liver. Much of the info might actually be complimentary to western medicine. My mother and I have both had liver pain although my liver didn't seen enlarged in the ultra sound. Pay attention to your blood pressure. Thats my advice. Especially while on neurontin. Yoga, ativan, marijuana, a beach, blood pressure medication .... if its for the stress it might be an idea to not use such a strong medication littered with bad side effects. I think the doctors have no clue as to all the effects of neurontin. I would go further to say that neurontin gives me anxiety and strange thoughts that dissipate and disappear after discontinued use.
