Question

Are there any long-term health effects with neurontin if taken on a daily basis?

I have been taking Neurontin for four years now.  I know typically there are not any severe side effects to this med., but I didn't know if there had been reports of any sort of effects with long-term usage.

Rocky,

 

Thank you for your post. Here is a good site about the side effects of Neurontin in the short term. This article, published by NIMH, suggests that there are few to no long-term effects of Neurontin, but it would be best to contact your doctor to ask this question.
