It is simply a pain medication and a very powerful one. Not addictive and not any kind of mind altering drug.

Yes. The consonants and vowels are in the right places, but the ones that were "educated" during the Reagan and Bush Sr. times need demagogues like Rush Lumpaugh, Glenn Bunk, and Calamity Hannity, to tell them what to think. The Repugnicons are on the run... that's why they can only react to Obama's policies. They don't have any ideas of their own, they can only try to tear down Obama's ideas, and, failing that, slander Obama as a person. The Republican "leadership" have been acting like a bunch of whiny children since the election. They were big contributors to the present mess, and they need to adult up and work to solve the problems, not sit in the middle of the floor and hold their breath until their faces turn blue. They're having a temper tantrum, and it's getting ugly. The "birthers," who are even more stupid than PETA, don't seem to realize that they are hurting their cause. The GOP, who were the ones that started the dumba** rumour, are now trying to distance themselves from the silliness. To answer your question - NO. They don't hear much of anything, other than the first phrase or two of a sentence, then they go off to the garage to start making signs and plan some half a**ed protest they call "tea parties." They're egged on by morons like Glenn Bunk, and that Hannity clown. That's all they hear, and unfortunately, that's all they'll learn. Generally, listening and learning mean change; by definition, conservatives don't want change, so they only pretend to listen. Republicans, and the people who claim they are, have tried to raise a culture of fear in recent years; it is not in their best interests if they were to say everything is going to be OK. So it may be that it's not because they don't hear, they can afford hearing aids, they just don't give a s*** what you think. They have their agenda, and it's not necessarily in your best interests. Money's the game here.

Was it Neurontin?
Neurontin is an anticonvulsant medication used to treat seizure disorders, migraines, neruopathic pain, and some other conditions. Why not call a poison control center? The American Association of Poison Control Centers has an 800 number, 1-800-222-1222. You could also call the emergency room and ask them. Be sure what he gave her was really Neurontin. Also, I'd be calling his parents. If his parents don't seem concerned, call the police. Kids shouldn't be giving prescription drugs to other kids.

Neurontin is a focal seizure medication. It is used for many reasons involving nerves that are firing to quickly as in pain, parasthesias, etc. Please list the i.d. markings on the side of the capsule or tablet and I can confirm what it is and the strength. It is made in 100 mg capsules, 300 mg capsules, 400mg tablets, and 600 mg tablets.
Unfortunately, you are focusing on the wrong side of this. Why did your child take this? 13 year old teenagers have a difficult time as it is with life. Make sure that family chaos or stress from other members getting along with others is not at the root of this. Have your daughter be accountable for her time and location. Most of all...make sure mom and dad are on the same page and consult with each other and ALWAYS have a unified voice when giving permissions for activities as well as in handing out meaningful and appropriate consequences for misbehavior. It is also OK for a parent not to shoot from the hip when a child asks to do something. You can say..."I'll get back to you when I have had time to discuss it with your mom" If their answer is "but I need to know right now!".... then reply "the answer is NO... if you ask at the last minute without affording us time to consult , the answer will always be NO." Avoid unilateral decisions all that does is make the other parent angry and feel pushed aside.
You may have a much larger problem than you realize or are willing to admit at this time. Make sure you don't ...don't just assume everything is all right.
1. Has she had an abrupt change in friends?
2. Has her style of clothing changed?
3. Has her makeup, jewelry, hair changed?
4. Does she seem more isolated from socializing with the family?
5. Does she sleep less or more than normal? (depending on the drug used and whether on the influence of it or withdrawing from the use)
6. Has she maintained her grades in school? (sometimes they do rather well inspite of drug use but most of the time there is a shift downwards)
7. Has her attitude been more argumentative ?
8. Have you caught her in lies and then becomes defensive or shifts the subject?
9. Do you have money missing? If she has savings, are they still intact?
10. How is her self -esteem. One major common thread amongst drug using teens is a lack of self worth and are overly sensitive to the opinions of others.
Just a few things to be more concerned with than just the pill you found. Hopefully if these symptoms are there then seek help. There are many support groups for parents to make a healthy home enviornment and to live a better life. Some reasons that a child would use Neurontin is to settle down the firing of the nervous system from cocaine or crystal methamphetamine or to potentiate the effects of alcohol... but along with that intensify the potential side effects and risk of death. It can also be used by itself in excess to have an effect like alcohol.
Good luck on making the right choices.

Try this website.
Also try calling your local poison control center.
They have trained medical professionals that can guide you as to whether or not your daughter needs to be seen by a Physician.

its Neurontin.....its a drug given for a few different reasons but mainly for nervous system problems,such as seizures,nerve damage that causes pain...etc.....and if youve never taken it before and arent well hydrated it can cause light headedness and dizziness for just a few of the side effects...but some kids take it to get that "high" type feeling if they take too much..I highly suggest thatyou remind your daughter to NEVER take something that isnt her to begin with or anything NOT perscribed for her...

i think the drug you're referring to is Neurontin. it's a drug that is used to treat pain after shingles or to treat seizures. Why anyone would give this to your daughter i have no idea but side effects of the drug are: dizziness, poor coordination, or drowsiness; blurred or double vision; irregular back-and- forth movements of the eyes; nausea and vomiting; or tremor.
she should be fine if she took only one, the best thing you can do is to have her drink a lot of water to flush it out of her system. good luck.
