How long and what dose are you on? I have heard it is like 1800-3200 or something for most.
Roy can you go on any other meds for the mood. Actually my meds even on my horrid days have been better but I see a psych too. That was a very good thing I did. I am still anxious and down a lot but in comparison to the horrid state I was in mentally it is progress. One can't go from A to Z.

Hi Daniella. I started taking 1800 mg. of gabapentin last December. I still had some horrible days, but was afraid to stop the drug, because of the times when my pain level went down a bit. I thought somehow it could be helping on those days. Finally, I had enough and decided to go for it and took myself off. That was around the 9th of June, and I actually have been doing better. I know it is probably just a temporary little break, but it started when I stopped the drug. I just wanted to make sure that the gabapentin was not actually irritating my nerves instead of helping them. I know everyone is different when it comes to responding to this drug. I guess I shall see what happens. I am glad to see that you are doing a little better yourself. I think it is so important to be able to talk to someone who understands.
