GABApentin

Is anyone currently on or has ever been on GABApentin for anxiety/depression? I'm currently on it with a reduction of Clonazepam and normal dose of Duloxetine and I'm experiencing vivid dreams, uncontrollable crying, swimming head, and the inability to control emotions. I just had a 20 min crying spell and I don't like how I am feeling? Please help!

Thank you Abysswalker! I'm going to reduce my dosage to half starting tomorrow (or should I say later today). My doctor will probably yell at me but I can't take this feeling anymore.

That sounds exactly like me! I think the meds really don't work and it's more of a panacea. I really enjoy talk therapy and there is a lot to say about expressing oneself to someone who doesn't know you and who can be impartial. I'm slowly making headway especially with my grief and CPTSD. Anxiety and Depression is going to be a long road.

I will heed your advice Abyss! Thank you so much and good night!

Recent studies show Gabapentin can actually in crease suicidal ideation in some patients. So beware if thinks areny going well. As for any doctor blaming a patient because a medicatiin isn't working for them. Makes me sick.

It had that dark effect on me- it was so scary!

Ziggypiggy, I agree with you. I am carefully monitoring my behavior and I will be talking with my psychiatrist this week. Hopefully, I will get my meds straightened out.

I took that for about a year and it made me have the worst thoughts about myself! I couldn’t sleep and gave me the jimmy leg! I took myself off and it’s getting better. While on it I also had nightmares.
