I was on neurontin for almost a year then I lost my balance one day and then my inner ear was destroyed from an inner ear infection and I lost part of my hearing and now walk with a cane because of loss of balance. This all came on so suddenly and now Im ruined for life and cant get an attorney to take my case even though the symptoms of neurontin that I have are stated in the side effects of neurontin by the company that makes it. The side effects are stated under the companys side effects. I also have constant dizziness. The Dr did brain surgery to cut the balance nerve in my brain that is connected to my inner ear to try to get the balance back but it did not work. It says that all my symptoms are the side effects of neurontin. The side effects I have are listed under special sensesin the neurontin side effects. I have fell and broken several bones from the imbalance problems from this medication and recently fell and broke my nose and cracked my head open and Dr in the ER glued it back but I have a nasty scar for life on my forehead. I had black eyes for 2 weeks and I am still having headaches from this last fall. Never had anything like this till I took neurontin. It has ruined my life.I was perscribed neurontin for neuropathic burning in my arms and legs, and for fibromyalgis Can anyone help me get an attorney that will take my case? Thanks

I am very sorry to hear about what you have gone though, however, Neurontin itself couldn't cause an infection of any type, only some type of bacteria can cause that.
