I was on neurontin for nerve pain a few years ago. I never had any of the side affects from it at lower or high doses. It worked wonders for me. Made my life bearable and much more easy.

I'm a concerned a bit about how difficult it would be to find out if you are having seizures. I don't see where testing is a waste of time...if nothing else, it can rule out a problem as well as verify a problem. If this were my problem, I would push for the testing....if for no other reason than to rule out and feel comfy knowing if it was seizures or not.

A neuro doc would be the one to see for this...not your pcp doc. An EEG could help detect abnormal brain function....whatever it might be. And it's painless....what better testing could be done eh? Of course it's up to you....strictly your decision and if you feel comfy with your doc...then so be it. I would just hate to think of something going undiagnosed when it could be easily ruled in or out.

I hope the neurontin works for you. It really is a great med for a lot of folks!
