I was prescribed Neurontin from a addiction psychiatrist to help with sleep while going through opiate withdrawal and I did a little research on it. Apparently it is not approved by the FDA for anything other than some kind of nerve disorder, etc. The company that manufactures it is having some problems because they have been marketing the drug for other uses which are not FDA approved, particularly psychiatric conditions. If you do a google search on it you can see that there are a few lawyers out there trying to gather people for a class action suit against the manufacturer.
That said, I haven't noticed the problems with it that you did Windysan, however, I am only taking it at night to make me sleepy, and taking a low dose. I am definitely going to be discussing it with my Dr. though next time I see him. I think the reason he prescribed that instead of something like Ambien was because the Neurontin is supposed to be non-addictive...
