Morontin...That's perfect!!! In the early stages of my slow Neurontin titration which began 20 days a go, I was very pleased that I appeared to be having good effects without any adverse reactions. I did notice that I was feeling more anxious, but blamed that on my tendency to experience this at times...and after all I was venturing beyond supplements because the discomfort had gotten to the point of interfering with my sleep. I became frustrated, however, that the initial good effects I saw with each dose increase did not appear to be long lasting...and I once again was not sleeping much. Although, I have a tendency to be anxious at times and a bit OCDish, I have never been seriously depressed. I suddenly found myself awake all night...having crying jags, and most frightening of all, questioning whether I wanted to live like this. So I wipe the tears from my exhausted eyes and actually read those labels placed on the Neurontin bottle by the pharmacist and there it is...mood changes, depression...thoughts of suicide. So off the Neurontin I go.. so yesterday, first day off, my neuropathy is at the worst pain level I've ever experienced. After having only slept a total of 2-3 hours during the past 3 nights, I finally fall asleep for a few hours awakening with the worst migraine I've ever experienced...BUT I'm no longer depressed, anxious or semi-suicidal...and my neuropathy, at least for now, is at a tolerable level... So this am, for me, Morontin is the perfect description for my recent adventures in the land of pharmacueticals. On the bright side, since I called in sick today and my son is home for the next 10 days, in between his out-of-state summer job and his return to college, and I'm feeling so much better...we're off to the mall together and out to lunch

By the way, I know that others have had good experiences with Neurontin, and my intent in relaying my experience was not to discourage others from trying it, but to serve as a warning of its mood altering potential for some...and it felt good to vent a bit!
