Mitch...my dx is panic disorder. I can assure you that I was not having any type of depersonalization/derealization effect from the neurontin. Those two symptoms are predominate symptoms of my panic episodes and I am very familiar with each of them. The paranoid feeling I had from neurontin was something I had never experienced before that I had a hard time explaining to my pdoc. It is hard to put into words. It was some type of irrational fear that was just there. I was afraid of something but I couldn't figure out what. I was in no danger, often at home, alone. It was nothing like a panic attack. Panic hits hard and fast with a cascade of symptoms that overwhelm all my senses. This was sort of a low level fear that didn't go away, was just there. I was in complete control of my mental faculties and spent many hours trying to figure out what I was afraid of with no resolution.
Whatever it was, stopped after I discontinued neurontin and I have not felt it since.
