Under no circumstances should he stop taking it by himslef. If he decided Neurontin isn't for him, he has to inform his doctor & be taken off it gradually. I was on it for 2 years so I know first-hand how this med makes you feel. They may then give him Lyrica which is "supposed" to be the new neurontin w/o the said-effects. Trust me, they lie.
there are so many of them & I tried them all. I have learned to live with & deal with the pain.
{{Hugs**** to your hubby. Hope he feels better soon.

Thank you for your feedback about the medication. His doctor called us yesterday afternoon and said stop until she sees him on Tuesday. They gave him this med for uncontrollable movements of his hands and legs. It made it worse along with the other problems! Im sorry that you deal with the bad effects of it too. It was hard to even convince him to call the doctor and ask what to do about it. I finally called myself...He is calmer today and keeps saying he didnt know that medicine would do that much to him.....Hopefully if he is prescribed something else, its not just as bad.. :-(
