Cam,
Thank you for your patience with this. I have some information for you below:
1)The Neurontin was prescribed for anxiety.
2) He is taking 1 per day (300mg)
3)Hes been taking it for at least 10 months
4)He took Benzodiazepines (Xanax, Valium and Ativan) for a number of years (for anxiety) hes been benzo free for 4 years. He came off them quickly (very fast detox).
5) He never suffered with depression or anger or loss of motivation before taking these drugs.
6) He was doing well until he went through a divorce and started the Neurontin to help him cope.
7) Hes not taking any other medication.
The last 2 weeks he seems to have deteriorated. He's become confused. He has to write everything down so he doesnt forget to do things. Hes put items away where they aren't supposed to be. Hes ;locked doors and forgot that hes locked them. He can't remember or re-call things that we've talked about. I have no idea why suddenly he's become worse over the last few days. I've been trying to support him the best way I can but its very confusing for me and sometimes overwhelming. Hes always been an anxious person but never like this. Yesterday he went for a doctors appointment who is perplexed as to what is happening but he is doing tests anyway. Thats all I can tell you for now.
I'm hoping my post makes sense Cam. Its early here in England and I'm not quite awake.
