does anyone here know the side effects of gabapentin?
Question:
Answers:
I took it for mood swings and anxiety. I took a very large dose for more than five years. I actually found it very helpful. I didn't have any side effects while taking it, but going off of it was very difficult. I took it 3x a day, and definitely had a lot of anxiety as I gradually reduced the dose and eventually stopped it.
