i have been on neurontin 4 6 yrs cuz of fibromyalgia and at one point i tried 2 stop it and i tappered off slowly but i started getting very depressed, confused, panic attacks. i was in emergency almost everyday, i jus sat there in a daze with a feeling that somethoing bad was about to happon 2 me, i lost alot of weight from diarrhea everyday. my dr said i think u should go bac on it so i didbut something else i noticed was that when i was off of it my hair was growing in thick and fast but when i went back on it my hair is now falling out, not growing and very damaged no matter how many treatments and or trims i give it!! when i was on it b4 i noticed my hair wasnt growing correctly but i didnt no it was from the neurontin, i thought it might have been but its not listed as a side effect. then i came online and looked it up and hesrd from other people and they all were saying the same thing, that there hair was a mess and falling out or not growing!! i hate this med so much but it helps with my headaches like no other. i recently went on cymbalta and im tappering off neurontin i dont know how it will go but im gonna try.im also finding out that alot of other meds im on could b contributing to this hair issue 2. please feel free 2 send me mail i would love 2 hear other peoples comments bout meds, and 4 anyone with questions bout neurontin i have been on it long enough 2 no the answer.
