17. Side Effects WIth Neurontin?

That's really unusual. That's been on the market since the early 60's. I think it was orginally an anti-convulsant for epilepsy and they found it had mood stabilizing effects on BPD and neurological pain blocking effects later on.

They had me on it for the stinging and burning in my legs (from MS), but it didn't do anything for me. I had thought the side effects were mostly very mild, and the only issue was that it simply didn't work for everyone. Guess i thought wrong.

From what i understand, Percodan is a stronger form. My wife got percocet for a pain killer after oral surgery. The hoops through which she had to jump were practically nothing compared to what i went through when i had the shoulder thing. So, it's clearly much more highly regulated. The Dr. office had to write a numbered scrip, call a state clearinghouse when they gave it to me, and i had to sign a book. When i got to the pharmacy, i had to sign again, and they had to call the clearinghouse to be sure it was a valid, registered scrip. It's the only time i ever had to go through something like that.

I actually didn't care for them, because i would drift off on them. My wife told me i would have a conversation with her and i would not remember any of it. Unsettling. But, maybe it was just the effect of being new on them. After a few days, the spur was dissolved and the pain was going away anyway. So, i quite taking them.
