I was looking at the Nurse's PDR on line and I searched a variety of drugs and found that there were horrendous side effects reported for some, including neurontin, which listed subdural hematoma and CNS tumors among others. Lamictal listed sudden death from epilepsy, etc. Lithium discussed blindness, following some sort of cortical change. How much stock should one put in these things? I mean, does an adverse event have to happen more than once to be included, or is once enough? Does it clearly have to be drug related? It seems to me that if these events were a threat, we would all be too scared to take drugs. I've always wondered about this, and haven't really known who to ask. Thanks. Lin
