>Hey there-
Neurontin seems like a good option for many, and I used to take it, but it made me manic. Weird, huh? It's used as a mood stabilizer, so my response was paradoxical, but I've seen other people with similar responses report this online.
Otherwise, it can be helpful at elevating mood (quickly, within a few hours), with anxiety and with sleep. I think I initially liked it because it elevated my mood so quickly, enabling me to get out of bed, leave the apartment and actually interact with people. Unfortunately, it made me way too elevated, even at the lowest doses.
