I've been on Gabapentin since 2018. My neurologist increase my dosage to 4800mg a day in September after having to take me off of Fycompa because of depression. I just started having a feeling of depression and anxiety two weeks ago. Has anybody on this medication had this problem?
I was taking of gabapentin quick!
