Neurontin, manufactured by the pharmaceutical giant Pfizer, has been a blockbuster drug, meaning that it sold over $1 billion a year. While Neurontin has been approved by the FDA (Federal Drug Administration) for the treatment of epileptic seizures, Pfizer’s Warner-Lambert division created another market for this drug by illegally promoting Neurontin for uses not approved by the FDA, called “off-label” uses. Pfizer estimates that 12 million people in 60 countries have used the drug.

This widespread use raised concerns when information began to come out about a serious Neurontin side effect. Neurontin use has been linked to thought disturbance that might result in suicide. In April 2005 the FDA issued a warning and listed many possible adverse reactions to Neurontin affecting the nervous system. In 2004 a New York law firm (Finkelstein and Partners) asked the FDA to require a black box warning for suicide on Neurontin and similar drugs, but the FDA has yet to take action. Finkelstein & Partners claims that Neurontin has caused over 2,000 people to attempt suicide. Pfizer claims these suicide attempts were not caused by its drug Neurontin.
