Seriously though I hated it and only stayed on it for about 10 days. I just did not "feel" like myself and after reading a great deal AFTER I started taking it, I stopped and had a nice "chat" with my doctor.

Someone on the net termed the drug "MORONTIN" and that is how I felt.

Lesson learned....after my "trust" in doctors I have learned to educate myself and research as much as I can on what I put into my body. I am one of those odd folks that seems to have the "one in a million" adverse reactions to things.

So now I weigh the PROS/CONS of what is prescribed and then I make the decision whether or not the CONS outweigh the benefits.

Thanks for the link Cool......I wish I had seen that when I started the damn stuff!

Cheers!

I am taking Neurontin for my spasms it's one of those 4 in 1 drugs prescribed for seizures,pain,spasms,and contractures.I'd say any drug that takes care of all that is not good for any living creature but what are we to do?
