first day on my new drug,,called NEUROTIN,,? i slept till 2.00pm,omg,, i walked into a wall,,(did not hurt) i am off- like" weird -off" I take one in am,,one at noon and at bedtime-
the dr said when i start to take these that i MUST pay attn, to the results,,and if any thing happens to discontinue,,he was causious when prescibing and explaining it clearly to me,,but i forgot everything he said.,,, so i dont know what im sapossed to watch out for- but so far so good,,no problems other then super drowseytime.
OK did a quick search google= wow, OK= Gabapentin for Depression, Mania and Anxiety. thats cool i guess.....ok now-NOTE: Gabapentin is only approved in the USA for the treatment of people with seizures. ((((the phamasist who filled this for me was on it for seziures - he was on HUGE dose and talked to me about it)))
OK NOW=
What are the side-effects of gabapentin?
Here is a listing of gabapentin's side effects that affected 5% or more of the 543 people taking the drug during clinical trials and the frequency of those side effects in the 378 people treated with placebo in those trials:
Adverse Reactions (%)

Unsteadiness 13 6-----ME Fatigue 11 3------me
Nystagmus 8 4---huh? wha?? Tremor 7 3---nope

Side-effects are most noticeable the few days after an increase in dose and then usually fade.
