Having Uncontrollable Diarrhea After Eating Dry Fish. Can It Be Due To Having Neurontin?

I have been taking neurontin for several weeks and have built up to a 300mg dose about 2 weeks ago. I have started having diarrhea a week ago after eating fried fish(unusual in my diet). Can't seem to get the diarrhea under control. Could this be caused by the neurontin?

Hi...yes neurontin has diarrhea as a side effect... but yours started after having fish...so it could be gastroenteritis...but lasting more than a week is unusual... maybe neurontin is potentiating it... better consult your physician...
