Some doctors want me to take Neurontin or Lyrica. I experienced amnesia when taking them and did not make a difference
Is anyone taking dies meds?

Hello @kenyalama,

I took Neurontin for about 3 weeks when I had Shingles. It helped with the pain. I did feel foggy when I took it and slept a lot but I never experienced amnesia.

I found it very helpful for the nerve pain associated with Shingles.
Please remember that everyone reacts to medicines differently.

I took a very small dose, 100 mg as needed. Are you taking a higher dose?
