In reply to Neurontin Effects?, posted by Tiffany1203 on May 16, 2003, at 0:08:38
Hi Tiffany,
I'm sorry I won't be able to address your neurontin concerns, but I wanted to mention something about nortriptiline. It probably isn't the case for you because you're taking such small amounts and have tolerated it well before, but I had to stop taking it due to tachycardia. I'm just wondering if your palpitations might not also be attributed to the nortriptiline. Just a thought.Is your purpose in taking 20mgs to treat pain? I've been toying with the idea of introducing it back with really low doses. But then again it might not do anything at those doses, so there might not be any point. But I wondered what you felt it addressed. (sounds like it treats anxiety too, since you have more of it when you're not taking any.)
I've heard the side effect profile for Neurnontin is pretty benign, whatever that means. You will need to hear from more people who know a lot more than I do about this.
I hope it smoothes out for you soon. Thank you, and sorry I couldn't be of more help.
Kara
