"If you have metabolic epilepsy and high glutamate levels or an intolerance, the medicine works great. It's the only one in combination with Keppra that has stopped my gran mal seizures and drop attacks. I still have focal aware seizures, though."

"Well, Neurontin has really not done anything for me. I was an alcoholic and had seizures many times, and they put me on propranolol. It has helped more than anything, I guess, for the tremors, but as far as seizures, nope, not doing anything. I still feel like I'm about to have a heart attack/seizure. Just ain't doing it for me."
