I've never used it, but I know gabatril has more side-effects than gabapentin. Try the Neurontin anyway. Neurontin could be good for you, and here's my explanation of why (based on what the Tips say, and my experiences of being on it for a long time):
*Its side effect profile is benign.
*It has no anticholinergic side-effects.
*It has no sexual side-effects.
*I have heard of it being used for many different disorders, and I used it for both agitation and unipolar depression.
*It has gained the respect of psychiatrists around the world in only a few years of availability.
*It is now available in 600 and 800 mg formulations, thus decreasing the number of pills you have to take.
*You will need no blood-levels taken.
*It has few drug-drug interactions, and can be taken with any antidepressant.200 of the 400mg capsules cost $286.39 (wholesale) in the United States.
