After trying many other traditional migraine medications, finally Neurontin converted my almost daily headaches to one every 10 days or so. I am able to treat these breakthrough migraines with Migranal. I have a life!

I'm taking Neurontin for my Basilar Migraines. I started out with 600 mg/day and it worked well in controlling my terrible auras (vertigo and double vision) for about 10 months. I started experiencing mild vertigo the past 3 days so it was increased today to 1200 mg/day. Hopefully it will continue to keep my auras in check.
For me, the downside of this medicine is feeling lightheaded and I sometime have trouble recalling things. Also, sometimes I get a "high" feeling, but it's all good.

I started to use this in June of '09. I was skeptical about the use for treatment of migraines. I have used it successfully for 3 months to treat my episodes, with Imitrex to back it up. I was using Imitrex up to 4 times a week, but I have only used it a few times since starting the Neurontin. It has really made a difference in the way I live my life.

I used this last night for migraines. I took two pills and felt like I was drunk, even when I woke up. It knocked me out cold for 10 hours and I still felt like that when I woke up. I have been exhausted all day also. My migraine is gone, but I can barely keep my eyes open.

This works great for migraines. Now, I only have 1 migraine a month if that. Will cause you to be tired at first but than your body adapts to 1 pill per day.

I was up to a very high dose of Neurontin in hopes of it helping my horrid migraines, but nope. All it did was cause some major word finding problems. My neurologist finally switched me to Topamax. My mother loves Neurontin for her hot flashes though. I didn't have any other side effects other than the strange word finding issues.

I started taking Neurontin 4 days ago for my migraine headaches, and I can already tell it is starting to help me in so many ways. I was having up to 3 headaches a day, and felt I was slowly falling down a hole I didn't have the strength to pull myself out of. I feel like I'm getting my life back. Thank you.
