No, gabapentin never caused any irritability like antidepressants have.. that's what is different about it. But, it *does* seem to have a subtle hypomanic induction and a strangely stimulating effect. It also causes an annoying bit of mental "fuzziness" and memory trouble during the day at the same time. I've got a positive feeling that this experiment w/o the AD's might get me through this summer-maybe I won't need anything else. I think I'll mention the moclo import idea to my pdoc though..
