I was prescribed Neurontin for what they are thinking are overactive nerves. I had an injury 2 years ago and am still in pain and they think it's from the nerves not having settled or still being irritated.
The doc said this was the safest med he prescribes. I don't like medicine.
I have been taking Gabapentin 100 mg for a couple of days and have had severe migraine slash sinus headache ever since. What does be from the medicine?
I was on other meds, Celebrex, Skelaxin and am off of all except Neurontin. I have tapered the Neurontin to 500mg/day. This question is related to side effects that may be due to Neurontin or maybe my migraines. When I was on a higher dose of Neurontin I was getting almost daily visual disturbances in both eyes that looked like what my migraine auras look like but those are in one eye and are followed by a headache.
Neurontin, a.k.a. gabapentin, has been a Godsend in fighting my eye pain, but I haven't noticed a correlation with the weird visual field stuff -- which happens to be very much like you described here. As to urgency, none of the docs I've seen in 4+ years seem excited about it. Comes & goes.
I ended up giving her a nurontin and it stopped the migraine immediately. I was just grasping at straws and thought since it was a seizure medicine, that it might stop her episode.
There are other primary headache disorders that can cause unilateral pain other than migraine. One is a primary stabbing headache. This headache often occurs in people with migraine. The pain itself generally lasts a fraction of a second but can last for up to one minute in some people. Another type of stabbing headache is called paroxysmal hemicrania. This is marked by episodes of stabbing or sharp pains that occur on one side of the head and may be associated with eye tearing or runny nose.
I have a headache that the doctors call a migraine. But I get migraines also and this is not like that at all.
It is a pain that I get on the right side of my head. The best description that I can give would be the same sensitivity on the right side of my head as one would get if you have sensitive teeth and drank something hot or cold.
When these headaches start, nothing could touch my head. I can't comb my hair, put on a hat or rest my head on that side.
t stay on it) and Neurontin with Neurontin being the only medicine that provides any relief so far. This is not rebound headache as I rarely ever take OTC or any other medicines except for Neurontin. HELP PLEASE from anyone with experience with this. Family needs me and I need to get back to normal.
I had a migraine new to me about a month ago went to a neurologist he prescribed meythpredislone 21 pack and after that was completed he prescribed neurotin gabapentin which I am very afraid of taken but I started taken 1 before I go to bed. Why did the neurologist prescribed that if it was just for headaches?
Hi. I am bipolar and currently taking Lithium, Neurontin, Seroquel & Lamictal. I have only been on the Lamictal for about 7 weeks, starting @ 25mg & every 2 weeks adding another 25mg; thus I am currently @ 100mg per day.

I have been having some strange symptoms since starting metoprolol as a migraine preventative. My head feels like it weighs a ton, and there is a lot of pressure up there, too. I've also been experiencing blurry vision and some concentration issues. I also take lithium, trazodone and neurontin and a rare xanax.
My doctor prescribed Neurontin for menapausal symptoms of night sweats, really bad inosomnia and restless leg syndrome. 200 mg nightly worked nicely for 2 weeks. Then it didn't do a thing so doctor increased it to 300-400 mg per night. I tried to stick to 300 mg but after 48 hours without sleep and feeling like I as losing my mind, I caved and took 400. That worked but now isn't. I take it, feel weak and exhuasted but can't sleep.
Researchers have indeed identified three genes linked with hemiplegic migraine. However, if you did not test positive, this can be due to sporadic hemiplegic migraine. Both preventive and abortive medications may also help provide relief. If the prescribed medication is not working, inform your doctor for proper management. Take care and do keep us posted.
