I hear ya, Speed and Pat! Sometimes I think the medical community needs to revise the definition for what is "addictive"....Like you say, not only does stopping Neurontin abruptly (or Paxil, either, in my case) start messing with your mental stability, it can cause all kinds of dangerous physical withdrawals.
Both Neurontin, and my Paxil, are purported to be extremely safe...but everyone who has ever taken either knows....you don't mess with that stuff!
I get so AGGRAVATED with my doc's office if I run out of Paxil or Neuro.....They KNOW how dangerous it can be to stop taking either, abruptly. Yet, they are the only one's who can PREVENT that, and sometimes they choose to let me suffer for insurance, or whatever reason that has nothing to do with whether I drop dead from a nervous breakdown, or not! Ya know?
