In reply to Gabapentin, posted by markwell on January 7, 2012, at 11:58:31
> My last visit to the pdoc concluded with a script of gabapentin, for anxiety and agitation. So far it has done nothing and it seems to add to my depression. I haven't read anywhere where this is a side effect. I think I'm just so depressed that the normal depression wouldn't notice the subtle but I do. I'm continuing to take it but it is not helping. What about a small dose of abilify for agitation? I tried 5mgs once but I couldn't buckle my pants after a week and I panicked and went off it. I would gladly put up with a little weight gain for some relief. Thoughts?
