I stopped taking the Neurontin about three years ago
About a year after stopping the Neurontin, my migraines went from my having 1-4 short episodes a YEAR to having 5 to 15 of migraine days a MONTH. It’s now been 2-3 years of severe chronic migraines.

Amytriptaline/Trazadone
Hi everyone. I have been on 50mg of trazadone for 2 weeks. It makes me sleep which has been great, but the next day i feel awful and so tired, even when I do sleep. My neuro prescribed amytriptaline instead since the trazadone is giving me weird side effects. Does anyone have experience or think that the amytriptaline might work for me if the trazadone didn't? I'm scared it will do the same thing.

Memory loss. Like, severe dementia-style memory loss. Scary, will-i-wake-up-tomorrow-&-not-know-who-i-am scary. My causes seem to be migraine compounded by years of gabapentin (neurontin) use. I've gotten several responses from my PCP about it from 'your only option is to quit the gabapentin & hope for… read more
