Hi Roy,
Yes, I've had sz. for 36 yrs. and I've had 2 brain surgeries to help reduce my sz. and I was doing great until I was put on neurontin and it caused me to have status sz. which I never had in my life. My epileptologist took me off the drug as soon as the status sz. started and they found it caused more brain damage. I was told to try lyrica but I found out that lyrica is almost the same as neurontin and I refused to take the chances of having more status sz. I know the drug co. that makes neurontin has been sued for over $240 million I saw all the info. on NBC Dateline a few yrs. ago when one of their employees turned them in. To get more info. about neurontin and lyrica and how it's affected people just type in neurontin lawsuits or lyrica lawsuits and you will get a lot of info. Here's wishing you well and May God Bless You!

Sue
