I am wondering if taking this drug and the having the reactions is worth the minimal help it is giving me.... Anyone have this problem that can help???

I've been taking Gabapentin since March. I developed a case of Trigeminal Neuralgia after a car accident & was prescribed gabapentin. I started getting other neuralgia pains since that time.
In the past few months I've started having some anxiety issues & now I'm having troubles sleeping.
I'm missing so much work, it's not even funny. I can't for the life of me force myself to go to work.
I'm thinking it's a mild form of depression.
My symptoms can all be side effects from Gabapentin.
I will be talking to my Dr. this week. I want off the meds!!
The pain I can deal with, but the mental stuff forget it.
