[ Home ] [ Follow Ups ] [ Post Followups ] [ FAQ ] [ Back to Messages ] Message Posted by Leigh Gaffney-Bain on November 04, 2000 at 18:15:50: I'm currently taking Neurontin to control my Restless Leg Syndrome related to my Fibromyalgia and it keeps me from having some pain probs with my joint dislocations I tend to be prone too (I have Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, a connective joint disorder that causes joint dislocations, and skin and internal tearing with great ease). My problem right now is that I'm on a lot of Neurontin, I mean a lot, I'm at my max amount I can take and we're trying to do a detox. But I'm having trouble with this detox. It's horrible. I'm getting the feeling that my blood is trying to boil, I'm going to pull my hair out and my legs and going to just stampede around whether I'm standing up or not. We're using clonodine to help with these withdrawal symptoms and it does help. My doctor says there isn't anything else besides Neurontin that can help me, but I'm curious if anyone has heard of anything that just might. Something my doctor might not have thought of. If anyone knows of anything, give me a holler, but also let me know what kind of side effects they have. I'd like to take the information to my doctor next week to discuss with her. Oh, also let me know if it is addictive. Thanks everyone :). - Leigh "Trying her options" Gaffney-Bain Follow Ups Post a Followup If you post a followup: Please review our message board guidelines.
