Hi T. J.
If I may ask how long have you been taking the neurontin? The reason why I'm asking is because my family Dr. put me on neurontin for head pain and it caused me to have absence status sz. where I was out of it for 40 min. to 3 hrs. this went on for about 1 yr. until I saw my epi and he took me off the drug and after that I never had a absence status sz. again.
Do you remember having an aura sz. where you had colors in your eyes, heard noises, or got a weird feeling in your stomach? Often this will happen to me right before a cp sz. and just like you whenever I have something hot in my had like a cup of coffee or tea I always drop it. I agree with everyone else you should let your neuro know about this. I just hope that it wasn't the neurontin that caused you to have a possible grand mal sz. I know the drug co. making neurontin has $240 million in legal cases against them for what the AED has done to people. Here's wishing you well and May God Bless You!
