"i was just prescribed gabapentin for anxiety coming off of alcohol. i&#039;m taking antabuse also, so since booze isn&#039;t an option and the doc won&#039;t prescribe a bento, i had to try his recommendation. i&#039;m prescribed 2 x 300mg a day. day 1, an hour after i took my first, felt like i was on a low dose of adderall more than a relaxer. slight tremble in my hands, very talkative. day 2, i took the morning dose and a cup of coffee. 2 hours later, i started getting shocks (not brain zaps), but shocks like i felt i might have a seizure. told the doc, said impossible it&#039;s related. took my evening dose. an hour later, super irritable, trouble walking, very dizzy. stopped the med."
