Bipolar Disorde
"I started taking this for bipolar 2 disorder and am prescribed Xanax for anxiety. My doctor started me out at 100mg of gabapentin (3x/day) after using Topamax to treat my bipolar disorder. The Topamax worked great for my mood, but caused me to lose too much weight, and constant parathesias in my arms, legs and even face. This medication works the same way without the side effects! (I&#039;m now at 300mg 3x/day) I haven&#039;t even had need for my Xanax because this helps so much with my anxiety, as well! And it doesn&#039;t make me drowsy like Xanax does. I&#039;m so happy I came across this and asked my doctor to try it. I hated antipsychotics but wanted to control my symptoms. I thought that was a no win situation, but gabapentin is my answer!"
