Withdrawal from neurotine symptoms?

My mom takes neurotine and tried to wean herself off of it foe 2 days. she started not to feel well and started back taking the medicine, couple hrs later she starts shaking really bad kinda like in a seizure way but wen the ambulance got here they said it looked more like a withdrawal type deal. So they took her up there and didn't really do anything but give her some muscle relaxers and we brought her back home and she still shaking. not as much but like every few seconds. Is this normal..? Is this gonna happen until her body gets back use to taking the neurotine?

    I think you're talking about Neurontin? If she is taking it for seizures (which is originally what it was for) then she will have seizures if she stops taking it. Some meds can cause seizures if they are suddenly stopped. Your mom needs to go to the doctor and talk to him about this. With meds like this you need to be weened off this slowly. By a doctor.
