viable Neurontin » Anna M.

In reply to Neurontin - Does it work? Side effects?, posted by Anna M. on January 12, 2002, at 15:18:06

Here's the lowdown on Neurontin that I got from some other newsgroup:

Gabapentin is a very viable option for you, and here's why:

--It has anti-anxiety and antidepressant actions
--It has no anticholinergic side-effects
--Few sexual side-effects
--It now comes in 600 and 800 mg tablets, reducing the number of pills one takes per day
--It has gained the respect of psychiatrists world-wide in less than a decade.
--Gabapentin has few negative drug interactions; it can even be taken with MAOIs and moclobemide

Here are the studies that prove Neurontin's efficacy:
1: Jefferson JW.
Benzodiazepines and anticonvulsants for social
phobia (social anxiety disorder).
J Clin Psychiatry. 2001;62 Suppl 1:50-3.
PMID: 11206035

2: Janowsky DS.
New Treatments of Bipolar Disorder.
Curr Psychiatry Rep. 1999 Dec;1(2):111-113.
PMID: 11122912
