In reply to Neurontin Users - feedback wanted, posted by Sean on February 4, 2000, at 17:08:08
I've been taking Neurontin for 3 months now at 1600 mg/day, and it has changed my life with its effect on generalized anxiety. No more mood swings and aggressiveness. I didn't know about the saturable absorption issue (thanks Cam W). I do sometimes have the blurry vision, although this only happens for a short period of time (usually about an hour after taking the med). No memory loss or weight gain (yet). My analytical thinking is still acute, and I feel my creative side has actually been enhanced (maybe I'm spending less time worrying (anxiety) and just doing more thinking and daydreaming. I have the same experience when it comes to sleep patterns. It doesn't help me fall asleep, but when I'm out, I'm OUT. It has also helped me to feel more at ease in social situations. You don't have to "act" like you're at ease, you ARE at ease. What a relief to find something that works!!
Best wishes
