Hi Mary Alice,

I was on Neurontin 2400mg daily several years ago. I was using it as a mood stabilizer. It unfortuately didn't work. With my docs approval, we stopped it cold-turkey, and I experienced no withdrawals at all. From what I've read this is the case for most people. What does happen though, is most people experience rebound symptoms from the problems they were taking it for in the first place. In your case I would imagine you would've had increased nerve pain. But don't confuse that for withdrawals. Those being sweats, shaking, nausea, etc. It sounds like you may have developed a stomach problem that keeping you from holding the pills down. Have you spoken to your doc? They can always write your rx differently so that your insurance will cover it. As you can tell I've had experience will this I'm sorry your feeling so bad, and I hope you find an answer soon. One thing that might help is a liquid they make called Anti-Nausea Liquid. It really does the trick for me.

Good luck Mary Alice, you've been in my thoughts a great big ol' bunch lately!

Love you,
Greg
