Unhappy

Concerned i may be at risk


What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? NEW JERSEY
I AM CONCERNED THAT I MAY BE AT RISK TO SUFFER AN ADVERSED REACTION OF BAD DI,AND BAD DECISION MAKING,ON BEHALF OF THIS SPECIALIST. I SUFFER WITH NEUROPATHY,AND EPILEPTIC SEIZURES.I WAS SEEN BY A NEUROLOGIST ON 7/30/09 WHO PRESCRIBED TO ME NEURONTIN(CAPSULES)300MG AND A SCHEDULE OF HOW TO TAKE IT.
I WAS ADVISED TO TAKE 1 EVERYNIGHT FOR 3DAYS,THEN 2 A DAY FOR 3DAYS,THEN 3 A DAY FOR 3DAYS,THEN 1@BREAKFAST,1@ LUNCH,2@BEDTIME,THEN 2@BRAKFAST,1@LUNCH,2@BEDTIME,THEN 2@BREAKFAST,2@LUNCHTIME,2@BEDTIME. I WAS GIVEN THIS MEDICATION FOR MY NEUROPATHY,I'VE SINCE READ ABOUT IT WORKING FOR SEIZURES,BUT,I'VE ALSO READ SOME SIDE AFFECTS THAT5 HAS CONCERNED ME AND NOW HAVE ME ON RED ALERT BASED ON THE EFFECTS OF THIS MEDICATION BEING ADMINISTERED WITH OTHER MEDICATIONS.
I AM CURRENTLY ON KEPPRA(LEVETIRACETAM)500MG,I ALSO TAKE ENDOCET 5-325 TABLETS,AND MORPHINE SULPHATE 30MG.
AFTER SOME OF WHAT I'VE READ IM WONDERING WHAT EFFECTS CAN I EXPECT TO AS A POSSIBILITY EXPERIENCE FROM TAKING THESE THINGS ALL TOGETHER,AND I'VE BECOME AFRAID BECAUSE ONE OF THE SIDE EFFECTS I'VE JUST READ ABOUT WERE CONCERNING CASES OF LAW SUITS DUE TO SIDE EFFECTS OF SUICIDE. I ALSO SUFFER FROM MAJOR DEPRESSION,HAVEN'T BEEN SEEN FOR SOME YEARS BY A DOCTOR FOR BEHAVORIAL HEALTH,NOR HAVE I BEEN ON ANY MEDICATION FOR MY BEHAVORIAL ILLNESS...I HAVE THOUGH BEEN EXPERIENCING BATTLES OF DEPRESSION LATELY.AND I HAVE IN THE PAST ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.
WHY WOULDN'T ANY OF THIS BE A CONCERN TO THE NEUROLOGIST THAT NEURONTIN MAY NOT BE THE BEST MEDICATION TO PRESCRIBE FOR ME?

I WOKE UP ABOUT 3AM EXPERIENCING A SIDE EFFECT OR WHAT IM CALLING A SIDE EFFECT OF MY LIP,GUM,AND CHIN ON MY LEFT SIDE OF MY FACE BEING NUMB.THIS CONCERNED ME VERY DEEPLY BECAUSE I SUFFER NUMBING AND SEVERE PAIN DUE TO THIS NEUROPATHY,BUT NEVER HAVE I BEEN NUMB IN MY FACE! I LITERALLY FELT LIKE I HAD BEEN TO THE DENTIST. IT REALLY HAS ME AFRAID BECAUSE,I DONT KNOW IF THAT WAS A SIGN OF ONCOMING STROKE,HEART ATTACK,OR JUST SIDE EFFECT FROM THE NEURONTIN. WHERE I AM ON THE SCHEDULE OF HOW TO TAKE THE MEDICATION IS 8/3/09 BEING MY SECOND DAY OF 2 A DAY(ONE IN THE AM,ONE AT BEDTIME.

PLEASE,I NEED SOME IMMEDIATE ADVICE AND OR A SOUND,AND TRUSTING OPINION! SHOULD I BE CONCERN,AM I ACCURATE IN MY QUESTIONING,WHAT SHOULD MY NEXT STEP BE?


PLEASE HELP?????????
RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED

This is not the correct forum for your question. Please start a thread in the
medical malpractice forum in the accident and injury law section.

We can then answer your question.....and please do not type in caps. It is considered yelling at us and rude.
