Guest guest Posted September 1, 2004 Report Share Posted September 1, 2004 I was on Neurontin a year and a half ago. 800mg x 3 times a day. It made me too drowsy to comptenplate anything let alone suicide *L* Not meaning to make light of the situation, but all I did was fall asleep on it. Mind you twice I was driving at the time. I didn't know it was the Neurontin at first. I was taking them from samples the doctor had given me and he gave me no warning about them making me drowsy.

Guest guest Posted September 1, 2004 Report Share Posted September 1, 2004 I was on neurotin and baclofen and one of these two drugs destroyed my joints. The worst in my knees, they became so swollen that I was sent to an orthopedist and the fluid was removed, only to return in a day. This was large amounts of fluid not a cc or two. My knees were so swollen I could not bend to sit down or get up. I was using a walker for about a year to get around. My knees are so bad that they crunch when I walk and will probably have to have both knees replaced sometime in the future. I would be very cautious of this medication. This information was never on any of the medication sheets I recieved from my pharmacy, my Dr. said it was a rare reaction.
