Odette,

Sounds like we're sisters 'under the skin' so to speak. I take Neurontin, too, 1600 mg, and until my body adjusted, it made me dizzy. I take most of the others, too, except for the vioxx (allergic to anti-inflammatory, great news for arthritis and FMS patients like us, huh?).

I don't know if the bowel problems we have cause the dizziness, I guess I always suspect medicine first. Ask your doctor or pharmicist.

Good Luck and gentle hugs, kcmo rose
