Just to say that my daughter, Alison, was put on Neurotonin when she was first diagnosed and had some horrible side effects as the dosage was increased. She was almost constantly sleep but never asleep if that makes sense - basically she was in a world of her own for most of the time
The consultant advised that we stop the drug and about two months ago she started on Lyrica (one of the newer Gaba's Vicc mentions). This seems to suit her much more. She isn't so tired and even manages to get a few hours sleep most nights - something sh hasn't done for months now
The only bad thing is that neither drug appears to have had any impact on her pain levels - but to have her sleep is a real bonus !!!!
Good Luck with the meds - let us know how you get on and what you decide to do
Love
Andrea
