I was put on Neurontin to help with the side effects of discontinuing the use of Lyrica. Not too bad a trade off .....Or so I thought. Now I have been taking 1500 mg a day for almost a year and I want to stop taking this drug. My memory is shot, I can't find the words I want to say even for the most mundane things, my vision has deteriorated, and the worst of all has been my mood swings and sleeplessness. My family has paid a tremendous toll for this drug. Emotionally - not monetarily.
I just want to stop taking this and can't seem to find any information to help with that. I know neurotransmitters have been affected and I just want to be done with this and have the old me back. I really do miss the real me.
If anyone has been successful at stopping this or knows where I can find knowledgeable support please let me know. Thank you from me and my family.

I take Neurontion 800mg 5 times a day for nerve damage due to a gunshot. I've taken it for about 3yrs. and still I never know how it will effect me, sometimes it makes me drunk and see double, other times nothing. But my memory is shot. I can't stop taking it, for nerve pain it's the best to help kill the pain. just hang in there.

I was taking Neurontin for about 11/2 years at the peak was taking 10 tablets of 300mg each for my Trigeminal Neuralgia problem. I felt like a zombie for days ahead as it makes me tires and lighheaded , dizzy.....Worst of all after that period of time i stopped using them i discover that my i have difficulty in remembering things that was told to me a few minutes ago.....even now after almost 1year ltr off Neurontin i am still having problem with my memory...
