neurontin tremors

Neurontin as a rare adverse side effect can cause the permanent movement disorder tardive dyskinesia. When this occurs it can present itself not only as a physical movement disorder but as an impairment of the speech process. For example I have tardive dystonia (a variant of tardive dyskinesia) and as part of I have dysphagia which affects my ability to speak and also tic like spasms similar to Tourette's.

I am under the care of a Neurologist for the tremors. My dx is Pscychotropic Tremors from Neurotin. He said they will eventually go away, doesn't know how long it will take and I am on medication for them. I would listen to your pdoc.

As this could be the withdrawl effects of drugs. This is unlikely to be mini seizures, tremors will happen for a while and then go off on its own. Were you on one or multiple drugs for seizures?

She is experiencing facial numbness, dizziness, blurred vision, muscle weakness, tremors...and a few other symptoms as well. she has an appointment in almost 8 months with the neurologist. I know this is not for diagnostics on here, thats why we are seeing a number of doctors. Her symptoms have been progressing rapidly over the past year or so, would MS be off the table here and if so, what else causes these kinds of symptoms?

Does anyone have an explanation the symptom tremors of the hands? Pt has acute leukemia, AML. Symptoms are worse with exertion so I am thinking it is due to low oxygen levels. Has anyone else experienced this?

I love neurontin but I started having major tremors which the doctor thought could be a side effect of the drug. So far I'm 5 days with no dose of gabapentin and I'm still having leg tremors... It may be just another symptom of whatever is wrong with me and if it doesn't resolve then I can go back on gabapentin. Just trying to rule it out as a possibly for this new issue.

I take a much lower dose of Lyrica than I did Neurontin. I have bouts of dizziness/vertigo, but they started long before Neurontin, so that probably doesn't relate to your situation at all. I just want you to know that I sympathize and I can smell the lemon and banana here in Portland OR. I have some very ripe bananas and plan on making a loaf of banana bread with walnuts.

s hard to talk because there is a lot of pressure. I have tremors in my hands all day every day and am contantly dizzy and tired. I had a brain mri a year ago, and a brain MRA 7 months ago. Do you guys feel it's nessesary to get another Brain MRI now, and if not what should I do? Someone mentioned Nerve Injections???

Other medications that have been tried and work include selective beta-blockers (similar to propranolol, but works selectively on more specific receptors, so that lung issues are less of a problem), and neurontin, which is useful but can cause sedation and weight gain Most medication have one side effect or another but in the treatment of BET, they have been successful for most patients.

Will Neurontin show up on a drug test? Took one last night and will possibly be taking a drug test tomorrow morning? Does anyone know for sure? Thanks a bunch!

Please be careful with using Neurontin... my husband who is addicted to opiates has become addicted to the Neurontin as well. It may sound silly, and I don't have a ton of knowledge on drugs and such, but you can find and read countless forums with people talking about how they abuse the drug, and the horrible withdrawals they go through when running out of it.

My doctor is starting me on Neurontin. Has anyone had any luck with it or had any side effects?

I mentioned neurontin awhile back. There was a news episode where a clinic was using it as part of a detox plan. I went from taking around 200 mg of hydro to cold turkey. I've been through withdrawals without it so I know exactly how much the suck! I used neurontin and was able to go on with life. I still had the chills and some anxiety, but you was bearable. It really helped me the most with sleep. The only side effect I had from it was a tinge of a headache and a little fuzzy headed.

I'm just curious if anyone is hearing that Neurontin is being abused? I was given this for nerve pain but couldn't tolerate it as it caused serious slurring of my words to the point people thought I was intoxicated. I also had trouble word-finding on it. But I didn't think it was something anyone abused. (Though I slurred my words, I didn't feel high or intoxicated with it; I sort of felt locked in ... I knew in my head what word I wanted but couldn't get it out.

Has anyone had an experience with neurontin? It was prescribed for burning hands and feet and I feel very wierd and crazy..and dizzy.

Hello I have a question about neurontin. I recently stopped taking tramadol after 13 years. I had a very difficult time doing so. I stopped Dec 6. My doctor put me on neurontin but I think I am now having withdrawal symptoms from neurontin. I have been taking about 900 mg a day since September. It gives me a lot of side effects such as drowsiness and the inability to think quickly.

Do you feel that this is related to stopping Neurontin ??? Also, are Neurontin and Lyrica the same drug? I have been hearing this, but have not found anything to support this in my google search. Do you have any opinions about the use of Neurontin for opiate withdrawal? Nauty..........

Hi j503, I want to welcome you to the Pain Management Forum and let you know that we are glad that you have found this Forum. I nedd to let you know taht there are NO Doctors on this Forum ONLY CP (Chronic Pain) Patients that help each other with their own expertise and experience that they have gained from their own Pain issues. I'm sorry that you aren't getting any relief from your Neurontin.

The basic question is - How long should it take to feel relief from taking Neurontin? I have been taking 3000Mg a day for about 3 weeks now and still haven't noticed any difference. A little background. I have been doctoring since April 1st for pins & needles/numbness/tightening/pain/tingling in both hands. Also, my arms and chest feel as if I have an extremely tight shirt on. The MRI revealed a spinal cord lesion at C3.

My doctor has suggested I try neurontin (or I guess the generic version). I'm not very fond of taking medicine (I know, I'll have to get over that real quick if I get diagnosed LOL). I will most likely try this. I think my sleep is being interrupted after a few hours sleep because I'm uncomfortable. Not in pain so much, but sore and achey.
