My doc wants me to take gabapentin/neurontinHas anyone taken gabapentin/neurontin? What is your experience with it? Side effects? Did it work? I'm scared of medication and don't want to be in a chemical soup fog.

Cuttingirl, gabapentin is an anti seizure med, and Lamictal is an anti seizure medicationas and is used as a mood stabilizer. My doctor tried to get me to take gabapentin he told me that it was off label for anxiety and panic attacks. He/she is probably trying gabapentin for the anxiety and then taper you off of xanax. I have a fear of meds so I do not take anything. I have xanax, diazepam, and just this week she wanted my to try Lamictal. Just talk to your doctor about your fears. Susan.
