Frustrated!! Neurontin side effects, and more...

[Guest guest]

Okay, WHY do doctors prescribe Neurontin again?? I've been taking

this stuff for a week, and I'm up to 300mg 2x/day, and I have brain

fog so bad, I don't feel safe driving. I can't put a sentence

together, or focus enough to study (which was great, what with this

being finals week), I'm exhausted all the time...all this, and I

should expect only 80-85% relief?! Wtf is this??? And I've been

using a topical amptryptaline-baclofen (can't spell, either) cream,

and now I've developed a very, very painful bump next to my urethra

and can't use the cream b/c it's so painful to have it contact the

bump, and physical therapy's over 2 hours away, which means I'll have

to stop going next year and pray that I can find someone closer to

West Lafayette, IN, and this is only after 3 sessions...

I swear, all of these treatments have made things so much worse...I

mean, maybe I would have gotten as bad as I am right now without

treatment, but right now it really, really doesn't feel like it. I

keep saying I'm stronger than this, that I'm just 21 and am way too

young for this to stay with me forever, but at this point, I am

virtually all out of hope. Ugh.

But anyway. Did anyone else experience similar symptoms while on

neurontin? I tried searching for this before posting, but I didn't

see anything (sorry if I missed it!). I thought it was just me not

getting enough sleep, but now I'm not so sure. And if anyone has a

hug to give, I could really use it!
