Neurontin
A MyEpilepsyTeam Member asked a question 💭

Does anyone else get joint pain whilst taking Gabapentin. ? Mostly hands fingers if not I guess it must be my age 😆😆 well at 21 I am getting on a bit. Not really I am 49 but these pains only seem to have come whilst been taking these tablets. It maybe coinsidental 🌷

I have had joint pain, but the bigger concern with Neurontin, was it enhanced scarring and after long Time use (off/on 25 yrs) caused scar tissue on brain to grow, and skull grew/thickened in, squeezing the brain. If you've been on it for a long time, I'd recommend tests,

What was your joint pain from Vimpat like? Did it affect certain joints? Did it seem more tendon related? Mine has some interesting characteristics.

When I was on Vimpat I had the same problem and neuro said it's arthristis but after I got off Vimpat the joint pain went away.

Well, I don't take neurontin, but I'm having a lot of joint pain that just keeps getting worse. I started getting it after I started taking Vimpat. Mine is in all of my joints. I've never taken neurontin or even known anyone who has taken it. What kind of seizures do you have?
