Guest guest Posted July 31, 2006 Report Posted July 31, 2006 Hello everyone! I have HNPP and am currently taking 300 mg of Neurontin a day. I have been on it now for about 17 months. Anything more and I have terrible side effects. Now I am have side effects with this dose as well. I have terrible mood swings, I am irritable and grumpy quite often, I get headaches, my gums sometimes hurt, I forget things,and there are a few others. In about the last couple weeks I also started to get some breathing trouble and some chest pain about 15-20 minutes after I take each dose. Nothing severe, but noticable and irritating. I am fairly certain that Neurontin is what is causing it. I am not taking any other medication at all. Do any of you have theses problems, or have you in the past? I really want to get off of Neurontin, but do you have to wean yourself off? What other drugs are out there that will help with my nerve pain? I do get bad nerve pain at times, but the neurontin has not helped much anyway. Your help would be great. Thank you all very much! Missy Quote
