I was on this for a year for nerve damage in my leg. It was screwing up my gate walking and my speech. I wanted to say things and could not find the word. I went of slowly from 1800 MG a day Not a good med.
This is what they put my wife on 1200mg/day for her seizures. While her speech has declined I can't say it was this or is it the progression of her AD. Still since being on Neurontin, no more seizures. She is already confined to a wheelchair so I can't say on her walking ability.
Sid was on Neurontin for diabetic neuropathy pain, and he hated it. He was always sleepy and felt lethargic. The doctor weaned him off of it and put him on Lyrica, which he has tolerated much better.
