It didn't take long for my Physical Addiction to become apparent to me..........maybe six months into the use of Neurontin..........but NO ONE BELIEVED ME!!!!!!
Because Neurontin doesn't make you "feel good", I would often forget to take it. I thought I was coming down with the Flu.........until it happened several times, and I put two and two together. When I would take the Neurontin the "withdrawal symptoms" would disappear within 20 to 30 minutes.
So I did a "controlled" test on myself.
Because Neurontin is NOT SUPPOSED TO BE ADDICTING, I should not have had ANY problem with abrupt cessation of this Medication. So I STOPPED taking it..........by day two I was so ill that I thought I was going to die.
I couldn't stand it anymore so I took two 400mg of Neurontin.........low and behold......within 20 to 30 minutes ALL WITHDRAWAL SYMPTOMS had subsided.
I am NOT ON ANY OTHER MEDICATIONS.........Any other posibility has been "eliminated" by my Psychiatrist............even "humiliating" weekly drug test for "street-drugs" have proved I am NOT ON ANY OTHER MEDICATIONS.
My "precious" Doctor was FORCED by 15 other PDoc's to make me "drug test"...........They simply didn't BELIEVE ME that I was Physically Addicted to Neurontin.
Now EVERYONE BELIEVES ME........especially my Doctor.........she is so proud of me........she is so happy that I proved them WRONG.
She is also HORRIFIED that she was OUT AND OUT LIED TO.........and that now, there is the possibility that many of her Patients have been placed in harms way.
One way or another, if even ONE in a THOUSAND people are adversly "affected" by Neurontin, then think about how many people that TRULY IS........MILLIONS OF PEOPLE ARE ON NEURONTIN.
HUNDREDS have emailed me with their "horror stories"..........and I am just one person they are reaching out to.
