What Are Side Effects Of Excessive Consumption Of Neurontin?

My son was abusing neurontin everyday for about four years. Last month he was found with an empty pill bottle believed to be neurontin bought off the street not prescribed. He was found unconscious, then woke up and became wild, was sedated several times in the following ten days til he eventually became unresponsive and now there is no hope for him according to doctors. Could this all be caused from abusing neurontin?

Hello
Yes, it can all be caused by neurontin. It is a very sedative drug and excessive usage can cause these symptoms.
I hope he gets well.
Thanks.
