I am SO conflicted on this medication. I am currently only on 300mg. It is for the constant pins and needles in my hands and feet. I recently upped my dose to 400mg and have never felt so depressed. I suffer with depression anyway but this was ridiculous. I couldn't get out of bed, I couldn't eat, all I did was cry, constant negative and dangerous thoughts circling, not sleeping. The gabapentin made my leg involuntarily shake and kick out which made it impossible to sleep. It gave me a headache, my legs were constantly itchy and I've never felt so tired. Incidentally, I also started the contraceptive pill a few weeks before, so the side effects could be due to the pill, but I stopped taking 400mg and back to 300mg and the effects have completely disappeared. I feel like taking 300mg is pointless as no symptoms have improved. I'm sick of always being in discomfort. I have suggested another drug, maybe amitriptyline as it is an antidepressant and used for neuropathic pain but my neurologist is insistent on continuing Gabapentin. What is everyone's experiences of Gabapentin? Sorry for the long post. X
