"i started taking gabapentin experimentally to treat chronic depression and am now prescribed 1800mg a day.  at doses of 2700mg i experienced a significant improvement in impulse control and depression in general.  went from being a shut in, to going for walks and enjoying my time in the company of others.  at the lower dose of 1800mg a day, i don&#039;t experience much improvement, save for a decrease in depressive symptoms.  i&#039;m looking forward to a larger dose if my doctor okays it."
