I was given Gabapentin when I started having seizures. My seizures became worse. We didn't know why, so months go by. Until one day I had enough and stopped it - no more seizures since then (and they were calling this treatment resistant epilepsy.) It took me about a MONTH of insane withdrawal effects and maybe 3 months to come back to baseline again.
I've had benzos, painkillers to help with the after seizure care, and their withdrawals were absolutely nothing compared to the gaba/prega. Most medications give you maybe a week at max of physical withdrawals, not a month...
However, it's absolutely great for anxiety! I would really exercise caution to everybody. If you don't believe me, Google first hand accounts on Reddit, Bluelight etc.
I would never touch it again.
