neurotin

I have neuralgia pain and high blood pressure, and a form of TMG all with anxiety. My anxiety is being treated with xanax 3 times a day, my neuralgia with flexeril at bedtime. The doctor recently started me on neurotin. I have no trouble with taking tne neurotin in the eveing , however I was suppost to take it morning and evening. However I tried it and it made me feel very strange almost like a zombie. I think it is reacting with my other meds  Xanax,diovan, and atenolol. IS this possible and which one. When can I take the other neurotin? I believe it would help the leg spasms and nerve pain in my legs and lower back. Thank you?  Sincerely Dorothy Miller

Hi! unfortunatley i had the exact same trouble, both with neurontin and lyrica. i felt like i was a falling down drunk!! i just stopped taking them altogether. there aren't mant good drugs out there for nerve pain , still haven't found one, but i'd rather feel in pain than.

My Dr. just put me on the "restless leg syndrome" drug..mirapex. So far, no big change. i find that the muscle relaxer Zanaflex works best with my neuropathy.

Good luck!
Keep me posted! ( i also hate lyrica and neurontin, b/c they made me gain 30 lbs in 2 weeks!!!!)
