Treatment History
Symptoms Experienced:
Eye & Mouth twitching
Hard time talking, eating and swallowing
Medications Tried: Neurontin 300mg 3 times a day. After taking them for about 3 months I noticed that I had a hard time swallowing and speaking. It was like I could not get my words out and when I did my speech was slurred. Clonazepam, 0.5mg 2 times a day, had the same side effects and seemed to also make me very tired.
