TWO WEEK OF WITHDRAWAL MY ASS! I know that every person is "different", but I have been "weening" myself off Neurontin since JULY 2003.
I find it very odd that I have to "ween" myself off a drug that is NOT SUPPOSED TO BE ADDICTING.
Even a Junkie can withdraw from Herion in less time.
We have been LIED TO by Pfizer...........THEY MUST KNOW NEURONTIN IS ADDICTING.
The "withdrawal" is 100 times worse than witdrawal from "Opiates".............and I HAVE PROOF.
I have received HUNDREDS of email from people who are "suffering" just like I am.
If I wanted to be an "Addict" I would have at least chosen a drug that made me feel good.
As for withdrawal from any type of BENZODIAZAPINES that is something I NEVER EXPERIENCED.
I have been (indiscriminately) prescribed Valium & Xanax many times in my life and NEVER HAD ANY WITHDRAWAL SYMPTOMS.
NEURONTIN IS A BAD DRUG..........THEY HAVE LIED TO ALL OF US.........AND NOW WE ARE THE ONES SUFFERING............but, NOT FOR LONG.
I will dog Pfizer until the day I die. I want them to GO TO JAIL........DO NOT PASS GO......DO NOT COLLECT $200.00........GO STRAIGHT TO BUBBA'S BUNK!!!!!!!!

NEURONTIN is the WORST drug I have ever been prescribed.............and I've been prescribed everything under the sun.
I tried Zoloft, Effexor, Prozac, Paxil & Depakote. NONE OF IT "WORKED" because I was being "classified" by the Psychiatrist(s) & their DSM Bible............NONE OF WHICH I WAS.
I merely have "Overwhelming Problems In Living". I am NOT depressed, I am NOT Bi-Polar, I am NOT Mentally Ill..........I am, through a series of events that occured in my life, OVERWHELMED and unable to function "normally" in Society.
ALL DUE TO THE INDISCRIMINATE PRESCRIBING OF DRUGS, BY DOCTORS, ALL MY LIFE.
Doctors, especially Psychiatrists, are NOTHING BUT LEGAL DRUG DEALERS.
They had me "hooked" by the age of 17. I am now 48. My life is in Ruins..........and NEURONTIN was the final clincher..........IT MADE ME AN ADDICT..........something none of the other crappy drugs did to me.
NEURONTIN SUCKS CANAL WATER.
NEURONTIN IS CAUSING PEOPLE TO COMMIT SUICIDE.
NEURONTIN IS CAUSING UNCONTROLLABLE ANGER, RAGE & HOSTILITY......WITH NO REMORSE.
NEURONTIN IS ADDICTING.TELL EVERY AND ANYONE YOU KNOW.......IT IS THE ONLY WAY WE CAN HELP OTHERS.
I HATE NEURONTIN.

Sorry you are having such a rough time. Poweful meds effect everyone differently. I was on Neurontin 800mgx4/day for over a year. I stopped cold turkey (which I don't recommend) without any discontinuation effects. There are others like yourself who have a very difficult time stopping a medication. I don't think this makes a certain med generally bad or good, just bad or good for that particular individual. I hope you feel better soon. Keep us posted.

i have been on on neurontin and an antipsychotic ( seroquel ) for a few years following a diagnosis of bipolar / mood instability in 2000.
i have gained 60 lbs. since then and despite what doctors say ( that my antipsychotic is responsible ) i have my doubts.
it seems that a second increase in my weight ocurred ( 30 lbs + 30 lbs more ) around the time my dose of neurontin had been increased due to some rebound anxiety. ... the weight gain seems both dose dependant and resistant to exercise and diet. sound familiar anyone?
you see ... i had attempted at once to reduce my dose of neurontin when i began experiencing a whole lot of symptoms i never had to begin with ... all of the symptoms neurontin is supposed to treat ( panic, headache, etc. ) that i never had a problem to begin with evolved ... it seems i am now reliant upon neurontin. has anyone shared this experience and what has been the outcome, i am wondering whether anyone has successfull wheened off of or replace neurontin?
i will be attempting a switch to gabatril / tiagabine to eradicate the weight gain and replace the neurontin.

Weight Gain...........YES......I used to weigh 125. I gained at least 30 pounds when I was on Neurontin........3,600mg per day.
I have been "weening" myself off since July 2003. I am now down to 1,200mg per day.
I have noted that I am now SLOWLY loosing the weight.
I could not "walk it off", I could not "diet it off".
Now I am just a "Neurontin Addict".
First I get cramping in my abdomen, then comes the burning in the lungs, then comes the "out of body" experience........like I'm standing NEXT to myself.......then comes the Nausea & Diarreah.
NEURONTIN SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!! TELL EVERYONE YOU KNOW!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi,
I just wanted to say some things about neurontin. I know that every body is different, but it was really helpful to me in using less and less klonopin.
I got myself up to a crazy dose and I knew I needed to go down. I was luckily (from what I have read here) to be able to taper down to 1200 mgs/day. And there are often days in which I dont need the med.
IMO neurontin is a useful drug for some and should be available for those of us for whom it is so. Everyone has their nightmare drug. Mine was topamax, but I recognize that it is helpful to so many people...same is true with seroquel for me. It was a true nightmare. Come to think of it, so was remeron!As I consider all of this, it occurs to me that the real culprit here is the chronic anxiety and not the neurontin.
I do not want to appear insensitive, I just want to add another opinion in this conversation. I never would have gotten a break from suicide attempts without neurontin.
Why do we all feel the need to break from meds that help us anyway? We accept long-term use of ssris and such, why not other meds?
In closing, I just want to reiterate that neurontin has been a great help to me and to many others. The nightmare is chronic anxiety for me.Diane

Diane:
Are you taking Neurontin for just anxiety or is there a bipolar aspect also?
I'm thinking of trying it as an alternative to SSRIs -- also have a big family background of bipolar. I get a little manic on the SSRI's

Simpatico. 60 lbs heavier myself. Mine is a combination of meds, hard to separate. I think both Neurontin, Lexapro, Lithium and Seroquel helped cause sudden and massive weight gain. I have lost about half of this by dropping Neurontin, which caused me no grief at all, and dropping the Lexapro.
Oh yeah--I dropped the Ativan too about three months ago. I had been on benzos for about three year and I hear you can get Benzo Belly from benzos. I was taking sometimes 8-10 mgs. of Ativan a day. Before that Xanax, which sadly made me manic but did cure social anxiety. It took about three months to wean off Ativan and I haven't had any for three months now. I feel soooooooo much better, not great, but at least not lost in a terrible dream.
On 800 mgs. Lithium, and 25-50 mgs. Seroquel (used to be 200 mgs-400 mgs.) I have managed to lose weight without trying too hard. I still have to lose lots more and will have to suffer through some process I am sure. Good luck.

Hi Everyone..........sorry about the MY A**S. I din't mean to offend anyone.
With regards to Neurontin. I CANNOT and WILL NOT Retract my Opinion on this Drug.
Say what you want.........I GUARANTEE that a few years down the road, hopefully sooner, Pfizer, a.k.a. Warner-Lambert/Parke-Davis, will pay DEARLY for the OUT AND OUT LIES THEY TOLD TO THE ENTIRE MEDICAL COMMUNITY. Their "actions" are nothing short of CRIMINAL and ATTEMPTED MURDER.
Doctors have been handing it out like candy BECAUSE THEY WERE LIED TO BY THIS DRUG GIANT.
My Psychiatrist (I saw her yesterday), is NOW IN AGREEMENT WITH ME............Neurontin is NOT THE SAFE DRUG SHE WAS "EDUCATED TO BELIEVE".
What you have to understand is that I am in full agreement that different people can react differently to the same medication.
That is NOT MY POINT. My "Point" is that I DID NOT INTEND TO BE AN "ADDICT"..........nor was it the "intention" of my Doctor to MAKE ME AN ADDICT. I have NEVER BEEN "PHYSICALLY ADDICTED" TO ANY MEDICATION..........and BELIEVE ME......they have put me on all sorts of drugs, and NEVER, NOT ONCE did I become Physically Addicted to ANY OF THEM.
And by the way, NONE OF THOSE MEDICATIONS "HELPED" ME............they made me physically ill.
I am not "Diagnosed" as ANYTHING, except having "Overwhelming Problems In Everyday Living".........I am NOT "Mentally Ill", as so many Doctors love to "Classify" US AS.
I am NOT ALONE on this one. I have HUNDREDS of emails from others who are PHYSICALLY ADDICTED to Neurontin.
Even a Junkie can withdraw from Herion in 28 days ..........I started my Neurontin "withdrawal" plan in July 2003.....I'm now four and a half MONTHS DOWN THE ROAD.....and I STILL have to take Neurontin, albiet a lower dose, week by week.
I have "weened" myself down from 3,600mg per day to 1,200mg per day..............I STILL FIND IT ODD THAT I CAN'T SHAKE THIS ADDICTION.
AND NO.........IT IS NOT A PSYCOLOGICAL ADDICTION. It is DEFINATELY A PHYSICAL ADDICTION.
I suffer from Chronic Pain........I'm no Spring Chicken.........I also have trouble sleeping, I wake up 5 to 10 times a night.
When I was on a High Dose of Neurontin those "symptoms" were better, but at what cost?
I'll tell you "What Cost"..........I became UNCONTROLLABLE..........I was filled with Anger, Rage & Hostility..........with NO REMORSE, and I became PHYSICALLY ADDICTED.
And you want to know why I was prescribed Neurontin? A Psychiatrist prescribed it to me, specifically for "ANGER CONTROL"........isn't that ironic!!!!!!
I would wake up planning who's day I could ruin. I became a Prisoner in my own home. I was TRULY AFRAID that I might harm another human being.
Anyone who entered my three feet of personal space, or talked to me for no reason at all, became a TARGET for my PhD in Verbal Abuse.....and on two Occasions, Physical Abuse.
I am not the type of person that goes "looking for a fight"............but while on a High dose of Neurontin, that was ALL I COULD THINK ABOUT.
With that being said, ALL I am "asking" for, is for Pfizer to TELL THE TRUTH so that Patients and their Doctors can make an EDUCATED DECISION, whether or not the "benifets" out weigh the "risks".

There is a bipolar aspect as well, but the real culprits are depression and anxiety, so I do take ssris.
Best of luck to you.......lamictal is also supposed to be good for BP and depression.

Now this meets with what I experienced on neurontin. They put me on a low does for THREE Days and my hostility and anger wne off the charts and I was extrememly agitated and could not sleep. They yanked me off of it VERY FAST!!! I was inpatient at the time and they saw the sudden escalation. And they had known me over several years and know i am a very mellow laid bacvk person normally. I told them I was feeling odd and did not know what was going on with this anger issue. They told me it was the meds. Took a week after just to get the agitation down after only three days on it. It really affected me . I was terrified my anger would be out of control easily because I am not used to handling anger in a trapped environment . I normally remove my self from situations where i am getting just irritated. But that one had me in a space that made being around anyone intolerable. So they put a absolutely dont use this med in my charts LOL. They just used ativan to help me control the problems with the days after they pulled the neurontin so I could stay calm enough until the crud was out of my system. Scary stuff !!

I've only read a portion of this thread, but my sister was diagnosed years ago with panic disorder and was put on Xanax. She then was later diagnosed with bipolar. She gained at least 60 lbs. after being put on lithium, which was at least a year before she was put on a host of meds (not all at the same time), including Neurontin, Seroquel, Paxil (she went off Paxil after gaining even more weight). She's still on Neurontin, but went off lithium. I've been on Neurontin for several years myself (never took lithium, but I'm not bipolar), and haven't had a noticeable weight gain.

I'm glad it's working well for you and not adding unwanted beef. Neurontin helped calm very distressing social anxiety. But I don't think it works as well for me anymore :(. Hope it keeps on for you.

Meds occasionally poop out - I don't know why, and what works for one person may or may not work for another. I started taking Neurontin several years ago (I take about 800 mg. a day) for anxiety when Xanax started pooping out on me. I take Neurontin now with one 15 mg. tablet of Tranxene, and 40 mg. of Strattera (for possible ADD, but just until my 30-day supply runs out), and that keeps my anxiety at a manageable level. However, I can't say that mix has eliminated social anxiety for me. If you know of something better, please share it with me.
I think some people take Neurontin at higher doses for other reasons than anxiety, and at those higher doses I understand there could be withdrawal symptoms, and possibly weight gain. I can't say since I've never taken it at those higher doses.

Hi! Thought I might add my experience with the drug. I have Bipolar disorder and was taking 1200 mgs of Neurontin 4 times a day for anxiety. This is because my pdoc didn't want to take a chance of me getting addicted to benzos. The neurontin helped me out a lot. I really stopped pacing, cleaning obsessively, grinding my teeth, and other things. But, I put on weight. And it was hard to hold a conversation with me. And therapy began to really do its job. So, I stopped Neurontin cold turkey (I wouldn't suggest!). I didn't have any side effects, that I can recall. But, while I was taking Neurontin I did have a suicide attempt. Whether Neurontin had anything to do with it is beyond me. Neurontin helped me get my life in control. But, when I felt I didn't need it anymore, I quit taking it. Now, next week I have to tell my doctor I haven't taken it in over 2 months. He might be mad at me. Same thing for the antipsychotic Abilify. Who knows, after the doctor visit, I might need to resume taking it!!

Hello All,
Very sad to hear all the problems you are having. One year ago I was in a car wreck that severed the Alder nerve going to my left arm and hand. I have been taking between 80 to 120mg oxycodone/oxcontin per day along with 2,400mg of Nuerontin for chronic pain for the past year. The beginning of this month I found a natural means of controlling my pain and Nov 5th I quit taking Oxycodone and began weaning myself off Nuerontin. I have been off the Nuerontin for 5 days now. I must say I quit both of these drugs before I read anything about the withdrawal. It is a good thing I did not read anything because, from what I have read and how I felt for over 3 weeks now, I truly believe I came close to dying. I do not recommend anybody going through what I did and am still going through. Even with the symptoms I have left, itching and exhausted, I have not felt as good and alive as I do now for over 1 year. I pray this gives you folks trying to get off this stuff hope- it is worth it from my perspective.
I am over the hump now but have one nasty symptom left I am hoping someone might help me with. I have hives or a rash all over my body that started about 3 days ago. Boy do I itch and I am still so wore down I don't have the energy to scratch.
Can anybody help me?

Is it a Welt Type Rash that appears "Spontaneously" on different parts of your body?
If so, I have it too. It appeared about two weeks after I started taking Neurontin........but of course, when I complained about it to my Doctor(s), as I have THROUGHOUT my three year adventure with Neurontin, my complaints and "attributing" them to Neurontin, were quickly dismissed.
What I did find out is that a simple "Antihistamine", such as Promethazine or Benadryl, will STOP the Rash within 20 to 30 minutes.
It MUST be a ANTIHISTAMINE.........The "Rash" is an Allergic Reaction, even if you are no longer taking Neurontin or OxyCodine..........the Medications caused this Rash..............I HAVE LIVED WITH IT FOR THREE YEARS.
It's weird.........it just "spontaneously" appears on my Arm, then will move to my back, and just about anywhere it wants to appear, it does!!!
I have spoken and shown this "Welt Type Rash" to several Doctors............NONE OF THEM knew what was causing it.............UNTIL ALL THIS BAD NEWS CAME OUT REGARDING NEURONTIN.
Now they KNOW, FOR A FACT, that it is the Neurontin causing, yet, ANOTHER unwanted and dangerous "side-effect".
I have NEVER, in my ENTIRE LIFE, seen One Drug cause so many so much grief.
Something HAS TO BE DONE about Neurontin.

And by the way, if you do have this "Welt Type Rash", you will NEED to keep the Antihistamine(s) with you at all times.
This "Rash" will re-appear as soon as the Antihistimine wears off.
At least an "Antihistimine" doesn't "Target" your Brain.........it targets the "Histimine" system.

This article states scary facts about neurontin. I am on neurontin for a tremor, so I don't know what to make of all this. But, the article clearly states that neurontin is ONLY effective for epilepsy. The manufacturer's reps were told to lie to doctors about its usefulness to other conditions, such as bipolar and pain. It really makes you wonder about these manufactures and their sole intention is making big money. Please read..

I am so sorry you are experiencing such awful withdrawal. I too am on Neurontin for tremors, but it doesn't seem that affective. It did help dull my back pain. I haven't noticed it really helped my anxiety at least not for long. How long were you on this med before you found out about the physical dependency? Is there a website on this? After reading the article about this manufacturer, I don't know what to believe about neurontin.

Jadzia,
I'm responding to your posts for several reasons - but before I start I want to tell you I'm very sorry that you had such a bad reaction to Neurontin.
I've taken Neurontin for several years for anxiety. It works great for me in smaller doses than perhaps what is prescribed for pain management or for seizures. I started taking Neurontin on a lark when Xanax stopped being as effective as it had been years before.
I have also gotten rashes from meds. The first rash was on the upper part of my back a week or so after taking Zoloft. I went off Zoloft immediately without calling my then pdoc. The second rash, much worse than the first, was on every inch of my stomach below my navel a week or so after taking BuSpar. It was beet red with bumps everywhere, and itched like crazy. I called my then pdoc and he told me to continue taking BuSpar, but to take Benadryl for the rash. He said Benadryl should get rid of the rash. He was right, but this med was terrible for me. I stopped taking BuSpar a couple of months later. I've taken a lot of meds over the years, and the one thing I've read over and over is that if you develop a rash as a result of taking a med, to stop taking it and call your pdoc. I believe my pdoc should have told me to stop taking it, but then that is one reason he is no longer my pdoc. Why I developed rashes to meds that most people don't is unknown, but we're all different and our body chemistries react differently to different meds. I don't think Zoloft or BuSpar are bad drugs since they apparently help millions of people worldwide. They just didn't help me.
I've also heard lots of people say that Neurontin didn't do anything to help them with anxiety. Why it helps me with anxiety is a mystery, but it does. I don't overanalyze that aspect of it, but since it works, I take it.
Snowie

I want you all to know that I didn't make a "Conclusion" regarding Neurontin by watching one T.V. show, i.e., MSNBC Dateline.
Watching that Dateline Program ONLY REINFORCED what I had known all along............NEURONTIN IS NOT THE "SAFE" DRUG IT HAS BEEN MADE OUT TO BE.
I go the distance...........I investigate ALL SIDES.........I dig deep into the Internet.......I read Any & Every "thing" I can find on a particular "subject", in this case, Neurontin.
Did you know if you mix Neurontin with Depakote it can cause Stevens-Johnson Syndrome????
Of course we don't know.............BECAUSE THE DRUG COMPANIES DON'T WANT US TO KNOW.....They don't even want your Doctor to know.
I merely ran across a "Medical Paper" published by a Doctor who is also a Psychiatrist. He "Observed" this horrible & unwanted "side-effect" occur in SEVERAL of his Patients........thus began his "investigation" into Neurontin & Depakote.
I URGE ANYONE who has experienced "unwanted side-effects" from Neurontin, or any other Medication, to go to the FDA's (Food & Drug Administration) web site and file an "Adverse Reaction" Report.
This is how the FDA "Regulates" the Drug Manufacturer's.............this is the ONLY way the FDA can help us. This is where Attorney's go to find out about "Potential" HUGE Lawsuits against Drug Manufacturers.
That is how one Attorney found ME........and they will NOT SOLICIT your "business".........it is against the law for an Attorney to do that. What the Attorney did is, he emailed me requesting a copy of the "Paper" I wrote on my experience with Neurontin.
This Attorney is not filing a "Class Action" suit, he is filing on behalf of "Individuals" who have been harmed by the use of Neurontin.
If you want his name and email address, please contact me at mail4debbie@sbcglobal.net.

I have been on Neurontin for a few months now. I'm at 1600mg/day for social anxiety. It really has worked wonders for me. It really seems to be working in multiple ways. I feel more stable now than I have since my childhood!
It is such a shame that one med doesn't work the same way on every person. Then again, that would mean that we would be too much alike....and how boring would that be? *smile*
There is a list that is devoted to Neurontin. You may want to join it. The messages come directly to your email address.
