I have been on meds, for severe depression for 40 years. After I stared to cry all of a sudden for no reason, on and off, I looked up the med. information. Itâ?? A Warning, not a side effect of this Gabapentin. Getting off because because I just felt like dying. The Dr. has a list o f my meds. I guess they donâ??t have time to check out this kind of info out. wHy ask when you fill out papers. Also, I feel like crap fr this med. be careful.

This med helped with nerve pain in my neck. It also put me in a good mood and my mild essential tremor went away. I feel more calm. However, I have pain in my upper abdomen that may be an inflamed pancreas
