Advice & Tips
I have tried Lyrica, Cymbalta and Savella all with horrible side effects. I don't see any side effects from what I can tell with the Neurontin. I am on a patient assistance program and get this medication for $5 a month which as I understand is a processing type fee from where I get it from.

Side effects:
Confusion, Taste changed
Date
Feb 01, 2011
Advice & Tips
At first it seemed to put me into a deep sleep and if awoken before my eight hours was up I would feel extremely groggy, confused, & off-balance. Then I began to notice a marked decline in my ability to communicate. It was more and more difficult to form sentences, keep track of time (e.g. hours, days, weeks). I also experienced a disturbing distortion of taste in dishes using almonds. Since I am a writer and take pride in my ability to articulate myself, this is a most disheartening and disturbing turn to the range of side effects that I could experience.
