> The mechanism of action of Neurontin, as the insert says, is unknown. It is chemically similar to GABA, but it does not actually bind to GABA.
be careful what you read -- often info is outdated. It has been written that gabapentin causes the release of GABA from myelin sheaths within the neocortex and hippocampus (i think?)
i was wondering if there may have been other effects newly discovered (i havn't been keeping up)
> As far as Dilantin rashes go, it's an allergic reaction that occurs within 3% of those who take it. You start to notice it coming on, so you can stop once that happens. It goes away after the stopping of the drug. There are other side effects- it's not the perfect drug, especially since I don't even see its use in anxiety on Dreyfus's website.hmmmmm......... i need more info from people who have taken this stuff ......
gabapentin, verapamil, tiagabine, vigabatrin, dilantin, good for anxiety???
lamotrigine, valporate, little or no effect??
