Neurontin Mood Side Effects

[Guest guest]

Has anyone taken Neurontin and had to go off because of mood side

effects? I am on 1300mg, and today I had a crying spell and couldn't

stop. Also, I am becoming more and more irritable in the weeks since

I have started this med, so don't know whether it is because of the

med or the pain. I have also just been diagnosed with an autoimmune

skin disease (LS) and I am suppose to remain calm - that's very hard

when I am crying all the time. Any help is appreciated. Don't forget I

have a jerk for a PC doctor, so it would be useless to ask her.

I am taking 1400 mg a day. I think that sometimes I can be a little

crabby and my husband is wondering what's going on. But in work I feel

like I am doing well. I have wondered if the amitrtiptyline that I

take is having an effect as well.

I think that constant pain will contribute greatly to crying. I no

longer have constant pain but when I did I would just go off by myself

(with an ice pack) and cry.

nne:

I had the worst time with Neurontin. It certainly effected my mood, to

the point that I had to stop taking it. I described it as " making me

crazy. " I could not stand the side effects. My doctor wasn't convinced it

was my problem, and insists that I should continue using it (and my dose was

MUCH LOWER). I decided that I would rather have a clear head and pain than

a foggy head and less pain.

You might need to think about changing meds.
