Supposedly, its a mild mood stabilizer. My shrink said I needed to up the Abilify (from 15 to 30) and add a mood stabilizer. I didn't want lithium, tegretol, depakote, or trileptal, so I said "neurontin?!?" and she OK'd it.
It *is* good for anxiety and agitation. If I was already on a benzo, I wouldn't switch out, but I might add it in for remaining anxiety. For me, 900 (300x3) has calmed me down a good bit w/o making me too stupid.
I *did* have some loopiness going on, but that seems to have gotten better. Maybe I adjusted to it, maybe my anxiety levels went up a notch..who knows? Its OK.
