In reply to Neurontin - Does it work? Side effects?, posted by Anna M. on January 12, 2002, at 15:18:06
> Can anyone give me feedback on their experience with Neurontin for SP or PA? Does it work and what are the side effects? Thanks in advance.
Neurontin was *great* for my anxiety, helped a little with depression, not much help for hypomania. Pdoc was concerned about the hypomania so he had me go off it to start something else.
I had almost no side effects while I was on the drug (just a little dizziness when I upped my dose--this went away quickly), but I will say that going off the drug (I was at 3200mgs/day) was really tough. I wasn't on anything else (no AD) and I crashed. Unable to sleep and the deepest depression I've ever experienced. I'm not positive that this was from neurontin withdrawl, but I think so, as my moods have stabilized on their own after the neurontin being out of my system a few weeks.
