Hi everyone about a few months ago my doc let me try neurontin at my insistance because the ibu 800mg 3x's qday and a low dose of norco was not touching the pain. I have 3 herniated cervical discs, including a titanium plate and cadaver disc from surgery last year on my c 5-6. The neurologist felt only one disc was bad enough to operate on and now the others are deteriorating. The neuontin was like a god-send at first and I didnt have any problems until the second week when I was to titrate up to 600 from 300 at bedtime. Anyhow shortly after falling asleep every night I would come flying up in bed gasping for breath. It started happening so often 25-50 X's a night. I had an overnight pulse/ox text and it conifmed that I would stop breathing. I am very familiar with neurontin and have never had any of my patients (some of whom take massive mega doses) in my 12 years of giving it to them have this kind of reation. Im only 30 years old and dont want to be on a breathing machine just because of a medication, but the neurontin has been the only thing that has allowed me to go for sometimes 8 whole hours without being in severe pain. Has anyone heard of this sort of reaction to neurontin? Or have any advice? Note: my primary is a pain pill nazi and treats anyone who needs even one norco every 8 hours like me as a drug addict, so I have to go in a non pain medication route to fix this. Any advice is appreciated, im at my wits end here.
