epilepsy
"I am 30 years old, and I have epilepsy.  I just came off of Tegretol and only on gabepentin after asking my neurologist if I could please.  At single doses of 600mg 3 times a day, I feel like my anxiety goes away, but my head can feel groggy.  I actually have panic attacks, anxiety attacks, depression as a result of epilepsy.  I do like Gabapentin if it prevents seizures.  Last night I felt nuts, and racing thoughts.  Maybe I need to up my doses to 1200mg at night instead of 600mg.  I do sleep very well once I do crash.  It can make me a calmer and hungry.  I couldn't survive, literally, without it. I know I would have seizures and panic attacks.  Side effects...very few compared to Tegretol."
