My head feels weird. Almost like a headache but not. A stuffy feeling, like ther'es something inside. I had plenty of sleep last night8-9 hours. I've been feeling slightly drugged on and off since starting neurontin. And constantly sleepy. Is this normal? Will it go away? Is this weird feeling in my head from the tiredness? From the drugs? Is it something else, like some weird headache without pain (I used to get migraines and know this is not one or a pre-migraine either). Sometimes it starts to hurt but then stops and returns to the weird feeling. It's a different feeling I think than the mild "drugged" feeling. Kind of like a pressure but I don't think it's sinus pressure, but maybe it is. What is this and what's causing it?
I'm getting sick of being tired since starting this drug, and the slightly drugged feeling I sometimes get. My mood swings are only for a few days every two months, I don't believe that warrants neurontin. My doc suggested it the first time I told her about the mood swings. Last week when I saw her I mentioned that I had cut the week before, not bad, didn't even bleed, just a scratch, that's all I ever do and rarely, but she decided she needed to drug me more after that. I said somethign about my prozac maybe being too low (hoping to switch to another SSRI) and she said after my side effects she doesn't want me on a higher dose. I'm surprised she remembered...my mom called her on that, I don't know that I told her.
