> Each week I was on it and each dose increase I began to feel more unstable to the point of feeling worse than I have ever felt in my life, weird unraveling, dissociative, anxiety. Around the 4th week in the late evening as I went to bed I began having incredible visual hallucinations. Thank God for Clonazepam! It helped relieve the fear, almost made me enjoy the trip, helped me sleep. I immediately felt relief after stopping the Neurontin.
Thanks for responding.I reacted very badly to Neurontin and Lyrica. My reactions to both of these drugs were the same. During the first few days, I experienced an antidepressant and anxiolytic effect. However, thereafter, I felt more depressed, dysphoric, and had profound "brain-fog" cognitive impairments. After discontinuing these drugs, it took at least two weeks for the negative effects to dissipate. I was afraid that I would be stuck in that altered state. I intend to stay away from any drug that binds to the alpha2delta subunit of the calcium channel.
