Neurontin: Suicides
built 263 days ago
New research shows a link between Neurontin and suicide and suicide attempts. Over ten million people have been prescribed Neurontin since its release in 1994. Recent independent research found that by March 2004 over 100 people taking Neurontin committed suicide. More than 2000 people attempted suicide in that same time frame. A year later, the suicide rate jumped 150% - to 258 by March 2005. The important point made is that all of the suicide cases found were with off-label use.

If you believe that you or a loved one has suffered as a result of a link between Neurontin and suicide, you may want to speak with an attorney. A lawyer familiar with new developments in the investigation of Neurontin and suicide may be able to help you make important personal and legal decisions.

A number of lawsuits have been filed alleging that Neurontin causes suicidal or suicidal thoughts (called "suicidality"). Plaintiffs in these cases allege that Neurontin-maker Pfizer Pharmaceuticals failed to disclose the risk of suicidality.
