I wish I could lower my medications I asked the doctor and he said maybe at a later date but I had to switch doctors for insurance purposes and he don't know me that much. Side effects vary, weight gain is really bad with Neurontin I know this for a fact, so it varies per person I guess but I would always check with your doctor if you was still having nerve pain. Hth and hugs.
I talked to my Neuro yesterday and he told me if it helped do it.. He did tell me he wants to wean me off the Valium which I am not to happy about it is a very relaxing drug for me he is switching me to amatipaline (spell) which as long as it works thats fine by me. I can understand how people do get addicted to valium though it is a all over good feeling. And the weight gain I know to well about I was on it about a year ago much smaller dose and put on 15 pounds Im allread overweight so what the heck probably wont even notice
