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?

Hey good people, I'm a pill popping (Nuerontin) epileptic who is in need of a good doctor in the Santa Fe/Albuquerque area who might be sympathetic to my plight and prescribe MMJ for treatment. Can anyone make a referral? Thanks much! Rating: 5
