hi
I am from B.C. and was prescaribed neurontin by a pain
specialist in from St. Paul's hospital in Vancouver and
found that it did not help my chronic back and knee pain
Have had failed back surgery in 95; a total knee replacement in 2003. I guess my doctor thought the pain was in my head so he sent me a psychiatrist who prescribed it again for me. I went from a low dose to very high and it still did not help my pain although it confused me, got me into several car accidents, made me aggressive at times and generally ruined my life.
Health Canada says that it is only approved for epileptic seizures and shingles but a doctor has licence to use any drugs for any purpose. I have heard of some positive results. smatheos@hwm.ca is the British Columbia lawyer
filing a class action suit against pfizer for mis-representing the uses of this "MIRACLE DRUG" it has also been linked tos suicide. A court in Boston fined Pfizer 430 million dollars for mi-representing the benefits of Neurontin.
I just thought this should be part of your investigation
regards
Dave--- dskonkin@telus.net
