"i&#039;ve panic disorder. i&#039;ve always been a &quot;treat as necessary&quot; type of patient  and i do prefer to only take meds as needed. benzo&#039;s have always served me best, but my present pdoc is all about steering patients away from them. so, we started this med 3 mo ago. the only other meds i take regularly are propranolol for high bp, and seroquel on most nights. 

1st week: gabapentin made me feel pleasantly high like a cannaboid might. i was talkative, appetite for food and drink increased, had a notable sense of well being. since then, the effects (positive and negative) have dropped drastically. i may as well be taking dollar store kava kava for all i can tell."
