I’m doing a slow taper now, I’m down from 900mg to 140mg. We would like to show you a description here but the site won’t allow us. Both gabapentin and pregabalin carry a warning statement for the risk of suicidal ideation and behavior. Since its approval in 1993, this association has been extensively research with gabapentin. Gabapentin is a terrible drug; I was prescribed gabby for chronic back pain. I was not myself at all; I was irritable, very depressed and very tired. I wanted to cry a lot of the times; I didn't even recognize myself. Exposures to gabapentin alone or with other drugs increased 72.3% between 2013 and 2017. Among all gabapentin exposures, 70% were “intentional,” defined as attempted suicide, misuse, abuse, or unknown intent. The vast majority of intentional exposures—81%—were attempted suicide. common side effects of gabapentin is making neuropathy (pins and needles/burning sensation) worse after coming off a dose which is what creates the addiction spiral.

As with any medication that causes intolerable adverse effects (hurting yourself, and suicidal thoughts are obviously seriously 'adverse,' but for any side effects that are intolerable and cause one to stop taking it) yes, do tell your physician right away rather than waiting for Posted by u/Diligent-Bed6701 - 7 votes and 10 comments I was prescribed Seroquil after suicidal thoughts, major anxiety, self esteem issues etc, and that I might be bi-polar. I hate it. It helps me sleep I think but my dreams are like full on anxiety dreams about trauma I had earlier in life.

I was hospitalized in a psychiatry unit for ten days, went home with a different therapy that consisted of 300mg of Gabapentin, 75mg of Pregabalin and Flurazepam 15mg, then my personal psychiatrist lowered the dose at original 100mg prescribed by the neurologist
