Neurontin and stomach pain

Well, Neurontin does take away some nerve pain, not big nerve pain like the leg nerve pain upon walking and sleeping. It does have side effects. I got dizzy, constantly sleepy, a sore throat, nausea, stomach aches and headaches. I took the pill apart to reduce the dosage. 100 mg. was too much for me, driving wasn't a good idea since I had a head injury and drugs can affect you more strongly (comprised). I stuck with it for three weeks, but now my stomach as doubled up. I can't stand stomach pains along with nerve pain. I did like the effect it had when sleeping, but I can't stand big time stomach pain when awake. Forget it. I will just deal with the pain.

mood swings, short term memory loss, extreme sleepiness, edema, light flashes, constant ringing in ears that varies in tone, depression, stomach pain, flu like body ache, headaches, ear ache, continual nasal congestion, weight gain, constipation, dry & flaking skin & hair

my doctor gave me neurontin a couple days ago for nerve pain steming from my back. i am having aweful side effects. i'm drowsy but can't sleep, i have problems with concentrating, blurred vision, headache, nausea, stomach pain, i am halucinating both visually and audibly, rapid heartbeat, spaced out, uncoordinated, my teeth feel like they are ringing, twitching, and just feeling like i am drunk!!! the worst part of this medicine is that it doesn't even do anything for my pain!!! i called the pharmacist and he told me to stop taking it. i am in a great deal of pain everyday, but i'd rather be in pain and feel normal, than feel in pain and feel aweful!!! i just hope that this isn't a permanent feeling!!!

I have horrible nerve pain in my right leg from the knee down into my foot after laminectomy and diskectomy 8 months previously. I began taking Neurontin, and experienced dizziness, lack of coordination the first week or two, but a dramatic decrease in the numbness, tingling and pain in my leg and foot. I have stopped taking Neurontin because of stomach pain, bloating, dyspepsia, really miserable, this was while I was on 40mg of Prilosec. I am now on Amytriptyline. It helps somewhat, but not nearly as much as the Neurontin. I am frustrated, because I don't know how to live with this constant distracting and painful condition. It's difficult to walk because of the severe pain in the ball of my right foot. I would really like to take the Neurontin, because I saw such improvement with it, but there always seems to be a side effect that makes it impossible to take a drug that helps. Same with anti-inflammatories, that also rip my stomach apart. Please help with any suggestions.

exhaustion... but -- the stomach pain wore off, you have to stick with it for a long time.
