Hi echoes -

Guess I'm the second person you've heard of who took neurontin (but on a daily basis, not p.r.n.) and quit cold turkey because of finally having the side effects of not being able to focus my eyes normally and a cotton-filled head (this was for post-shingles neuropathy in 2003). No ill effects - maybe I was just lucky? Vision, etc. went back to normal in no time. Anyway, the neuropathy was gone by then and stayed away - that time.

But I have read that suddenly discontinuing neurontin might cause seizures and that one should taper off per the doc's instructions.
