I was in the hospital about 4 years ago because my leg kept giving out and I was falling. I was given Gabapentin and I got delirious talking crazy yelling at everyone, also picking in the air. The crazy thing is I knew what was going on but could not control it. My daughter came to visit and I yelled because she did not bring my cat, and I kept saying about the little girl in the corner. Never again for that pill!

Yes, Gaba did affect me in same way, and I was not warned by the doc. After about 10 days, anger issues began, got worse, my co-workers could not figure out the issues. Not my normal and my wife contacted the doc....oh yea, that can happen. Really? Got off over about 5 days. Warning was part of the paperwork with the prescription, about 4000 words they give you with the prescription which contained about 50 warnings. Best part, since found out, Gaba is normally not prescribed to patients with my type of PN!!! I now read ALL the papers that come with any new prescription. Live and learn.

Gabapentin is my anti-seizure meds the morn, lunch, eve… a big pile… I had/have a TBI from an accident, 12 years ago, when riding my bicycle. I’m now alive and thankfully my wife took care of me. Am I back? I lost 80% of my memory & my professional ability, but I’m here 👍
