    Neurontin kidney damage, love handles, hives, partial onset seizures, diabetic peripheral neuropathy
    After taking 200 mg a day for 5 months I developed hives on my stomach and love handles. The itching is driving me nuts. Anyone else have this and could it be kidney damage at this low dose?

    I have had an increase in blood pressure since my Neurontin dosage was raised to 3600 mg/day. It's highest in the morning and I often wake with a headache. This started about the time that the dosage increased from 2400 mg/day to 3600mg/day.
