[Dysphagia] Neurontin etc
Neurontin has one of the worst adverse side effects profiles arouund. Number one ? like many antileptics- is ataxia. Followed by, among others:
Visual disturbances of all kinds, amnesia, vomiting, dysarthria, xerostomia, dysarthria, fatigue, headache and on and on. These are particularly prominent in the elderly and those who are neurologically vulnerable.
