Guest guest Posted March 19, 2002 Report Share Posted March 19, 2002 Neurontin is usually used to treat epilepsy. I don't recall ever hearing of it being used as a pain med. I was on it for a while for migraines at a lower dose than they use for epilepsy, but it made me too sleepy to continue using it, even if it had worked for my migraines (which it didn't). The day I literally fell asleep at work talking to my boss is when I called my neurologist to say we needed to try something else! I don't remember any other side effects other than sleepiness.

Does this drug usually cause nasty, rosacea-unfriendly side effects? It sounds nasty from reading the PDR, but is anyone out there using it now and what side effects are you having other than drowsiness? Thanks.
