my husband was put on neurotin because of chronic back pain. He was started at 100mg 3x a day for 1 week then increased to 200mg 3x a day.
At the end fo the 5th day he started with severe memory loss and reverting back to childish behavior and not knowing who family members were. I became concerned and Dr. stated take him off if this cotinues. At the end of the 3rd day on the 2oomg dosage 3x a day I called again be cause he was forgetting he could even use his rt hand and his walking became shuffled as a child learning how to walk. Dr. said to take him off . This has been 2 weeks and no improvement has been made. Will these side effects be permanant?
