In reply to Gabapentin/Neurontin - depression and anxiety, posted by jms600 on October 27, 2005, at 16:15:03
Hi.
I found Neurontin to be de-stabilizing and ultimately depressogenic. So, I guess the answer to your question is that someone other than you has experienced counterproductive alterations in mood as a result of taking Neurontin.
Did you find that Neurontin was actually helpful during the first week?
