Gabapentin increased my anxiety and made me kind of hyper which in turn, caused more pain from over doing it! Most people say it makes them drowsy but I couldn't get to sleep until midnight or later the whole time I took it. I also have panic disorder.
It tends to be part of the conditions not everyone gets them but it can happen
Thank you. .. I'll definitely give my Dr a call...
I'm really fed up with this illness and all that goes with it xx
You're all amazing thank you x
I had horrific panick attacks that would last up till 4 days no sleep shaking vomiting cramping crying all at once and i mean none stop my husband would eventually ring an ambulance to take me to hospital so the doctor's would give me a shot of valium to stop it i actually thought I was dying this happened about 5 times over 2 months and i told my doctors if you send me home without a long term treatment i was going to shoot myself i told them i don't want to die i just can't handle these panick attacks so they proscibed avanza wich worked and about 4 months later i was diognosed with fybromyalgia and they changed me to cymbalta wich has helped with anxiety but most days my pain is unbearable but i just think tomorrow will be better .
