Is there anything else I can use - I know there's Lyrica, but it's from the same family.

Thanks
Hi there. I was taking 3600mg. of neurontin each day for over a year. I recently weaned myself off completely because I could not handle the side effects. My mind wash mush, my memory shot and I felt like I had been hit by a truck. The nausea was also horrible; but I thought it was more from my pain meds. I asked about Lyrica and my PM said that the side effects are even worse. Wish I had more info. Good luck!
