When I took Neurontin-I was a totally different person. Given the option, I'd never have stopped. I had not insurance and the cost was outrageous. there were no side effects for me. I would definitely jump at the chance to go back to it. Unfortunately, my insurance covers nothing but generic.

If it's something you and your doc have discussed and you have no hesitations, I'd definitely give it a try. It took a few weeks to get the right dose, but once it was right, I was like a new person..

Just my experience with it..

Here's the lowdown on Neurontin that I got from some other newsgroup:

> --It has gained the respect of psychiatrists world-wide in less than a decade.
> --Gabapentin has few negative drug interactions; it can even be taken with MAOIs and moclobemide
