For colbymoore...... Several years ago I suffered from a type of nerve pain called meralgia paresthetica. Basically a branch of nerves were sending pain signals to my brain but there wasn't really an injury. (oversimplified) but I wound up taking about 3000 units of neurontin daily in three separate doses. While it dulled some of the pain over the course of a year or two, ultimately it was ineffective. I needed to stop taking so much and I wound down too quickly. My doctor never told me to wean myself off of it VERY slowly. As a result I went from 3000 a day to none in about 10 days. BIG MISTAKE. I was nauseous constantly, I had a panic attack (which I've never experienced before or since) my heart was racing, my thoughts were racing, I was jumpy and felt the adrenaline non-stop for two days till I could get in to see my famiy doctor. Neurologist was not picking up over the weekend. Family doc had to prescribe Ativan to stop the racing thoughts. I wound up going to a shrink because I thought I was going crazy. She discovered that I had discontinued Nuerontin too quickly and put me back on (which stopped the symptoms) until I SLOWLY, over three months, titrated down to zero.
Just a word of caution. Hope you're doing well.
