Hi Krissy,
When I take more than 300mg of neurontin a day I cannot remember things or think very well.I have friend who used to take neurontin and she was a total moron when on it. I also lose my balance, am tired, zombie like. The neurontin takes away my pain, my spasms, all the things it should, but it leaves me incapable of functioning due to side effects. ---- and I used to fall and bump into things when on neurontin.
Maybe you too are being effected by the side effects of neurontin. I now use less neurontin, a bit of valium and some pain pills. I have my balance back and I can think again. I cannot perhaps do as much physically without as much neurontin, but I have my mind and fewer sores from bumping things.

well, I notice my balance is a little more off balance lately..more so than usual..I know I could get *tipsy* now and again, but especially in the mornings now I am way off balance and sometimes after a longer day I find myself falling into things more...also, my memory is really geting bad now..mostly my short term and its really starting to bother me. I cannot always recall the names of simple things ..like when I was in the cellar asking the boys to help me clean I was pointing to the sleeping bag , snapping my fingers calling it a blue thing....then the other night, my daughter and I did her bedtime prayer and I walked into the other room o get her something and walked back in and said 'lets do prayer" and she said but mama we already did it, and I had NO recollection of doing it!!!! I felt like an idiot...I feel like saying wtf is happening to me? Is it early Alzheimer's???? sheesh, it brings me to tears....is it because I am not getting to the gym to exercise, or on here too much? not outside as much, I don't know...but it seriously is bothering me...
