No way!!
Whoa there, Annie & Erin, after reading Phizer's log on adversities for this drug, I'm not taking it...took 1 cap, no more....it's carcinogenic as well, that scares me, esp re pancreatic cancer; guess i'll stick to ibuprofen & naproxen for the pain....no wonder my pcp didn't like this drug, & the young neurosurgeon who prescribed it couldn't care less...he gets very angry when a patient doesn't just cowtow & do what he says....oh well, I just won't tell......

Have you asked your pharmacist to check on drug interactions too? When you are on more than one drug, you can have interactions. And since Neurontin is relatively contraindicated in MG, I'm surprised the pharmacist didn't red flag the prescription.
Did you tell your neuro or pharmacist about the side effect?
And then if you add something like a quinolone while you are taking neurontin, you could progress to hallucinations. Geez!!!
So be careful, please. This can be dangerous stuff. If you're having nightmares, what else is it doing to you? I know you have pain of an undetermined source that is really hard. I hope they can figure out something for you that won't make you worse. Acupuncture? Seriously, it has been shown to work for pain.
