Certainly Neurontin has a place in psychopharmacology. However, the drug company was indeed taken to court (in the state of New York I believe. Many of the studies, inc. double-blind studies, were done by the manufacturer itself. They grossly misrepresented themselves, the studies, and the results to the public. I do know many people benefit from Neurontin for things other than epilepsy, as well as other non-labeled problems. It was ineffective and even harmful to me. But not disclosing that they sponsored the studies, and reported on them favorably is still a question of ethics, in my opinion, or lack therof.
