neurontin

i went to the neuro on monday to see if they could do something about what has been going on with me.  they prescribed me neurontin to take four times a day. i have heard such bad things about neurontin.  has anyone had success with this medication.  they believe i am suffering from partial seizures in combination with migraines. they think that this drug may help with both.  i read that neurontin is not approved to help with migraines, only seizures, and it appears the drug has been linked to many negative side effects.  please let me know if neurontin has worked for you.  i am interested in hear both positive and negative.
 
thanks,
