Hi Mirage
Thanks for the question. I know that one of the side effects of neurontin is memory loss. I know that my short term memory is not what it used to be because of the neurontin.
 
Other symptoms are dehydration and weight gain. When I find my drug book...my grandson has my house looking like a disaster area right now...I will be sure to post the other symptoms for you.
 
Be very sure that you increase your intake of water because dehydration can be a serious condition if not treated properly and quickly. Also make sure you keep a watch on how often you are making a bowel movement. If you find you are slowing down in that area you need to look into a stool softener. Also if your urine becomes really yellow that is a sign of dehydration so increase fluid intake immediately to help stop the progression, if that doesn't seem to help call your doctor immediately.
 
I hope that helps
Janine
