> i'm taking gabapentin for as needed anxiety. lately ive been taking between 900-1500 a day. tues when i was really bad i was maxing out. today i've only taken 600...you think the gabapentin could be exacerbating my depression?? when it fixes my anxiety>
> or is it the lack of anxiety that makes the depression more noticealbe?Depression is listed as a side effect of gabapentin, so I guess it's possible. It seemed like a pretty weak drug when I took it, though. Strong at first, but then I developed a tolerance. I think when I have gone through periods of high anxiety in the past, it has been followed by depression. So it's probably typical.
