Can Gabapentin make neuropathy pain worse?

I am fairly certain I read a post about someone's neuropathy feeling worse after taking gabapentin. I didn't take a night time dose and did not experience the burning and shooting pain that I usually experience after taking the med. Initially I thought it was that whole thing about pain getting worse at night. Anyone experience anything similar? I haven't found anything online about it. I also experience the psychological side effects of increased depression and agitation. I thought I was losing my mind!

Welcome, @cocokoohlah24.

How long have you been taking gabapentin? Did you talk to your doctor about your wosening symptoms?
