I just started taking gabapentin. The doctor warned me that it could cause problems with my anxiety and depression and it did. After taking a low dose of 2 pills in a day I started feeling very anxious and angry. I started crying all the time. I could not stop. Now that the medication has worn off I am doing fine. No more gabapentin for me. I have friend who has taken it and no problems. Gabapentin has even been given as anti-anxiety meds, but though in some it works as an anxiety inducer. That is why it is important to listen to your doctor.
