Well, I can tell you what happened to Alan (we did it twice and it happened exactly the same).

He went on the lowest dosage (this was about 4 to 4 years ago). He got deathly ill, got chills, got a fever and said "oh my god, how do I know I don't have the flu, and this might be the neurontin".

So, when he got better the very next day (no neurontin), we waited one more day, he took the neurontin, the exact same thing happened, I took the bottle away and said "enough", no more.

That was it for Alan and neurontin.

Now my Aunt Sallie, who has had a seizure disorder for years and years, well, she was on Neurontin for years. No side effects whatsoever except a little sleepiness.

She was taken off years ago. Now she is 83 and not on anything. Her last seizure was about 5 years ago.
