It feels like it made my tremors, and muscle spasms worse. Doesn't stop the leg cramps, doesn't help with the neuropathy. Overall, I don't think this drug is for me...I feel so much worse, and the shaking is preventing me from eating (without embarasing food drops), I cannot write legibly, and it's even hard for me to type on the computer. I see my Neuro Doc in June...I think we are going to ha ... Show Full Comment

My Mom has diabetis and after experiencing SEVERE leg and up her right side of the body to her jaw for a year (oxycondone didnt even help) she has never been more pain free..HOWEVER, shes only been on it a month and it has caused her to be extremely wobbly on her feet. The wobbly only began after starting this med but she had so much pain especially at night in her legs from neuropathy she would rather be wobbly than spending her nights and days in such uncomfortable pain. She has a Doc appt. in the morning to be evaluated before they will refill it...she's on 600mg a night, Im wondering if we should lower the dose to 300mg to relieve some of the "wobbly" she has...she says she would rather wobble than go back to that pain, but I dont want her to break a hip and fall. I cant even let myself let her drive anymore since shes so wobbly (sorry wobbly is my best way to describe it ;-) )) Has anyone else noticed these symptons after taking Neurontin? It has not had any other bad effects so I have to say its been a relief to not have her crying in pain and not being able to sleep at all. With this one medication it takes care of sleeping, shes not depressed, pain free, when usually people end up with meds for sleeping, meds for pain, meds for diabetis, its all in this one medication. Guess well see what her lab results say and Doctor thinks about the wobbly tomorrow in order to know its not doing any damage that we dont notice. Thank you for reading my post, and Good Luck to anyone who may have neuropathic pain and decides to try this med. Just watch out for the unstable walking and dizziness that might occur. It took about 3 days before that started.

I don't think it is working because I still hurt even after I have taken the dose for the day I feel this same pain as if I never took all three doses.
