Default The neurontin could be causing some reactions?

Please read the full prescribing information below?:
http://www.pfizer.com/files/products/uspi_neurontin.pdf
Especially pgs 18-amlyopia, & pg 24 'Special Senses'.
I've experienced also a hyper-startle effect, but I'm not sure if it was due to the PN condition or the meds I was on at the time. I've been off most PN meds for at least 3 years now, but I STILL experience they 'startle' thing about 1-2 times a week.
I'd started having vision issues after I'd been diagnosed...I'd had some tinnitus prior to that, but now it is truly noticable. The vision problems have lessened greatly. [After 8 years]
So? State? You aren't crazy! Not, not! NOT! So many of us with neuropathy problems have these to different degrees, some negligible, others to a noticable degree. Truly it's part and parcel of what makes us ALL so hard to truly get a diagnosis! Hang in there and should you have problems? LEARN how to articulate them in sort of 'doc speak' to hit home your concerns. You will learn lots about that here! Keep faith in yourself, and in the prospect of getting better! !!'s - j
