Hi Suebear,

A few yrs. ago my Dr. put me on Neurontin for bad headaches and it was then that I started to have absence status sz. then after watching NBC Dateline they had one of the drug co. former employees who turned them in for doing off market labeling with the drug along with doing an investigation on the drug co. only to find out that 72 people took their life while on the drug, and over 60 people who never had epilepsy started to have sz. right out of the blue. There was a class action lawsuit and I got involved with many others and that's when they busted the co. for over $210 million.
Since that time I've learned to have a DNA test to find the right sz. meds to take with the least side effect. I've had surgery twice to reduce my sz. and it was a great help. Here's wishing you well and May God Bless You!

Sue
