I am on my 10th day on Neurontin at 300mg OD for a severe cervical muscle pain, the pain did go away but... at first the only noticeable side effects were drowsiness especially in the AM, loss of coordination. But a few days later, the numbness on my lower extremities was noticed as well as moderate to severe headache more on the frontal area and arthralgia (joint pains). I also had episodes of irregular heart beats so I had to be put on Betablocker. The dosage was not that big, but anyway, patient's response varies individually. This will be my last day of Neurontin. I hope my body will eliminate all the traces of this drug.

i started taking neurontin last march2003 for severe neck pain. i had to start very slowly as the side effects were quite
severe in dizzyiness and light head. the drug worked very well
but about a month after i noticed very severe pain, numbness and burning in my feet.i have put up with this till i am at my wits end. even had cortisone injected into my feet to try to help. that didn't work. really stirred things up. i am going to go off neurontin slowly ,i take 300mg x 4 times a day. will i have bad side effects when i am going off it. i am on a lot of medication and have 3 heart stents. i am concerned that all my medication are interacting with one another

I have been taking 3500mg of Neurontin for 3.5 years to reduce sever pain caused by cirvical disc degeneration (injury caused in severe car accident) Neurontin reduced the amount of pain and seems to reduce painful outburtsts of unvolentary movements & phantom numbness and pain. I am able to reduce the amount of daily pain-killers that I need to get through the day. I am currently questioning the relation with Neurontin and a liver problem recently discovered. Of course, blood tests indicate cholesterol, and blood sugar problems. Is there any documented relationship with the long term use of Neurontin and liver and/or kidney disorders?
Thanks
