In reply to bruising on neurontin, posted by sar on September 16, 2001, at 11:25:02
Sar,
Just about every med I tried to combat my CFS and depression caused me to bruise.... VERY easily. I *think* it's somewhat common... but it can't hurt to look into it. Just don't go scaring yourself!!!!!!!!! See ya on the other board,
Kristi> lately my legs have been all bruised up! i've had 2 odd-looking large dark splotches, really purple, and my entire right shin is a light shade of blue! i'm not a hypochodnriac but i was beginning to think i've got cancer! today i read the little foldy piece of paper that came with my neurontin and found this:
>
> Hematologic and Lymphatic System: *Frequent*: purpura most often described as bruising resulting from physical trauma...
>
> Dermatological: *Infrequent*: skin discolor
>
> has anyone else experienced this or anything similar?
