It's funny how we're all different. I had to stop Neurontin because of the sleep side effects. I got some variety of sleep paralysis I guess, where I felt like I was awake but I couldn't move. It was miserable. I would wake up with the worst backache. So I had to stop it before I really had a chance to see if it worked for mood stabilization or anxiety.
