I have been on Neurontin since 2004 for Trigeminal Neuralgia. I have tried almost all the anti-seizure meds and it's the only that has ever helped. I have short term memory problems from it and sometimes it still makes me sleepy. When I was first on it my legs and ankles swelled, my dr. prescribed a water pill and it has taken care of that problem. I will endure all the side effects although the memory problems does bother me because it helps with my pain. I am on disability my job put me on it. I don't know if now I would be able to work but I guess it's up to each individual whether the trade off of the side effects is worth it to them.
