Re: Anyone take Neurontin?
Here is what I found when I did a search:
Neurontin (gabapentin) is an anticonvulsant that is also sometimes used to treat the pain of shingles, fibromyalgia, lyme disease, and other similar ailments.
"FAQ: Gabapentin for Depression, Mania and Anxiety.
NOTE: Gabapentin is only approved in the USA
for the treatment of people with seizures.
There are few systematic studies that establish
the safety or efficacy of gabapentin as a treat-
ment for people with mood disorders, anxiety or
tardive dyskinesia. While such studies are in
the progress, what is currently known about
the use of gabapentin for the control of mood and
anxiety disorders and tardive dyskinesia comes
mostly from uncontrolled case reports. The few double-blind placebo-controlled studies that have been done to date have not demonstrated that gabapentin is an effective mood stabilizer."
Where did you learn that it is helpful for depression?
