Neurontin Side Effects – Suicide

Neurontin, a product of Pfizer’s Warner-Lambert division, was developed primarily to treat epileptic seizure, but the manufacturer illegally promoted the drug for purposes that had not been tested or approved by the FDA (Federal Drug Administration). As a result of this illegal promotion, millions of people around the world took the drug and may have suffered from a long list of often serious, and sometimes deadly, side effects.
