Hi Bluewillowsky,

Welcome to the forum! I took neurontin yrs. ago and it didn't help me at all as a matter of fact it caused me to have severe status absence seizures which I never had in my life. I then went on lyrica and it helped me much more and my absence sz. along with my complex partial sz. went way down.
I will tell you that you have to go off the neurontin very slowly as well as go on the lyrica slowly. If you haven't tried it yet start taking vitamin B12 once a day 1000 mcg. for adults and 500 mcg. for kids and teens this drug calms the nerves down stopping pain and reducing seizures. It's worked great for me. Here's wishing You well and May God Bless You!
