Has anyone else, taking Gabapentin, experienced weird bouts of paranoia? like the unshakable feeling that something or someone is about to reach out and grab you? Or the feeling like you know you're about to die(non-suicidal) even though nothing crazy is happening? Ive had the thoughts thay kinda flit through your head like, "oh this could happen. What would I do if it did?" but I have never been so terrified for no reason before. Am I over reacting? Anyone had similar?

@Terp ❤️
Thanks everyone! I told my pcp and she said to stop it for now and see what happens.
I’ve been on this medication for several years now . The only side effects I have experienced if not being able to remember very well . I take 1200 ml a day . Without it I can’t hardly walk or get up and down

@Nana25 im sorry your pain is at that level, but glad the gabapentin doesn't effect you too badly.
I have had those same negative effects with gabapentin. I had to stop taking it because it even effected me unconsciously.
I had paranoia when I took Gabapentin! Dr deemed me allergic to it
I have been taking gabapentin, pregabalin & cyclobenzaprine for post surgery pain. I was having severe depression & got irritated easily. I had to cut back to only once a day for mental health sake. Anything that affects your brain like a nerve blocker can have strange side effects. I would bring it up to your doctor. My doctor had me increase my zoloft until I can get off it, which I doubt will be anytime soon
Im just really frustrated you guys... Im tired because I haven't been able to go to sleep at night, but the gabapentin has gitten rid of about half my pain. So either I get sleep or I get more pain again. 😭 Add that to my regular fatigue... Im just so tired of it all. I dont know what to do anymore. I don't even know if the Neurologist, that Im trying to get in to see, will have any answers.
