[QUOTE="Sara PA, post: 73634, member: 1498"] The info Weeping Willow posted is from an aritcle published in 2003, a year after the Dr. David Franklin blew the whistle and a year before Pfizer settled the government's lawsuit for fraud in the promotion of Neurontin. They paid the highest fine ever levied against a company (until very recently). Among the reasons was the promotion of Neurontin as a mood stabilizer for the treatment of bipolar disorder. [URL='http://topics.nytimes.com/top/reference/timestopics/organizations/f/food_and_drug_administration/index.html?query=FRANKLIN,%20DAVID%20P&field=per&match=exact']The New York Times did a number of stories about it.[/URL] I, too, have heard doctors say that they have had success with Neurontin but I have heard only two parents say it. One case involved adding Neurontin for anxiety; the benefits if any were short-lived. The generic name for Neurontin: [I]In pediatric patients 3 to 12 years of age neuropsychiatric problems, including emotional lability (anxiety behavior problems crying false sense of well-being mental depression reacting too quickly, too emotionally, or overreacting rapidly changing moods) hostility (aggressive behavior suspiciousness or distrust ) hyperkinesia (hyperactivity or increase in body movements restlessness) and thought disorders (concentration problems and change in school performance)[/I] [/QUOTE]
