Gabapentin or Neurontin
I was prescribed Neurontin or Gabapentin and twice I had a build-up in my body and overdosed. Landed in the hospital for 3 days each time this happened.
The first time my dosage of Neurontin or Gabapentin was cut in half. The second time I overdosed I was taken off Neurontin, Klonopin (addicting like Valium, etc.) and Tramadol.
I went through withdrawal and the overdose for 3 days. I couldn't tell my hallucinations from reality. I was told by my doctors Neurontin travels by your nerves and MS affects your nerves thus the build-up then overdose.
I do not agree with giving Neurontin or Gabapentin to MS patients. It's a new drug and too has side effects of different types of cancer I recently found out.
I see my neuro in December and I would like to share my experience w/him (Neurontin or Gabapentin) and too tell him I learned different manufacturers of Baclofen make you extremely tired (all you need to do is ask your pharmacist to switch Baclofen manufacturers).
Take care.
