@jager5210, Can you provide the link to the article you quoted? It is a copyright infringement to cut and paste an article, so I had to remove the copy.

Here is the British Journal of Medicine study by Yasmina Molero et al.
Associations between gabapentinoids and suicidal behaviour, unintentional overdoses, injuries, road traffic incidents, and violent crime: population based cohort study in Sweden (2019) https://www.bmj.com/content/365/bmj.l2147

It is important to note that the researchers concluded that "these associations varied with age and type of gabapentinoid. Overall, gabapentinoids seem to be safe for a range of outcomes in older people. ...clinical guidelines may need review regarding prescripgtions for young people, and those with substance use disorders."

While drugs, like gabapentin, help many people, it's always good to talk to your doctor if your concerned about medication you're taking.
