mrsD - you said:

One thing I am worried about is that Neurontin IS excreted whole via the kidneys. If you have reduced kidney functions, you may not be excreting it properly.
This may lead to it building up in the body.

Question - do you think it's OK for someone who only has one kidney to take Neurontin? I ask this because of what you said plus I lost my left kidney in Jul 97 as a result of a blood clot settling in my left renal artery causing my left kidney to literally shrivel and die. Was under the care of a nephrologist for a year until she was satisfied my right kidney was functioning at 100%. She was aware of me being on Neurontin but never suggested I stop taking it. Hmmmmmm. I guess it was fortunate I was never on a large dose - 1200mg per day was the most I ever took in a 24 hour period.
