"for a long time i have believed that i was bipolar but never took medicine for it. a couple years ago i started taking gabapentin for a herniated disk. i immediately noticed a feel good feeling. that is now the main reason i continue to take it.  

people are warned to not stop taking this abruptly..they mean it! i recently had surgery to remove my fibroids and i stopped taking gabapentin due to all the other medicines i was having to take. shortly after stopping abruptly my husband said something to me i didn&#039;t like that hurt my feelings and i threw a plate of food at him! i have never in my life done this. afterwards i found out that anxiety is also a symptom of abruptly stopping meds. make sure to wean off slowly."
