Constipation: As I have been making some progress on this problem of late, thought I would add the info to this registry (does anybody else read and respond to this besides me?) A helpful bit of info recently read was that diahrreh/constipation comes from either too much or too little water in the bowel. Since Neurontin makes a person VERY dry (all that water being excreted) and I make sure that I drink the same amount -- a lot -- of water every day,it figured that stimulating-type laxatives would worsen the problem. Getting off of them and going to small amounts of mineral oil plus one of those new non-gritty metamucil products, keeping up the water drinking, all seem to help. Plus my husband makes an espresso-latte that works like a charm. Does anybody else have advice or success with the constipation problem? JanK
