OliverB Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 Has any of you found gabapentin helpful for your depression/mood? I have found if I take 600mg of it at night I wake up feeling less tired and with a little better mood. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alien Navel Cord Posted February 10, 2017 Share Posted February 10, 2017 I haven't found it beneficial for mood, just anxiety when combined with klonopin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclingsarah Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Gabapentin helped my depression A LOT. I found relief from 300 right away. I take 900 mg a day now. It also helps my anxiety a lot. In the beginning it kind of made me feel high - slighty hypomanic as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
La La LOLocaust Posted October 18, 2017 Share Posted October 18, 2017 Gabapentin definitely eases some depressive symptoms. It's a wonder drug for anxiety. They really need to look into this med more in clinical trials because it really, really can do amazing things for some people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They want to schedule it as a controlled substance in my state because some people are abusing it. I took it years ago as an adjunct for depression, but it didn't help me at all. Maybe I didn't take a high enough dose. I can't remember. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crtclms Posted October 22, 2017 Share Posted October 22, 2017 I took it for migraines, and we don't think that it was coincidental that while I was taking it, my mood completely stabilized, and I went into remission for 8 years (yes, that can happen). We tried it again many years later, and it made me put on weight really fast, so I couldn't stay on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
