I love gabapentin!!!! It really makes my thoughts not move so fast/obsessive In my head. I have been on it over a year and it has made a huge difference I can always tell when I miss a dose

Be careful while using gabapentin, it can be really dangerous to drive while on it and can also have adverse reactions with other medications. Do your research and discuss with your doctor first.

@user111 It makes some people sleepy, that’s why they say not to drive right after taking it. If you take it and feel fine it’ll be fine. I used to take it in the morning and at night and never had a problem with this!

It’s supposed to kick in pretty quick and stay in your system for the next couple of hours. Not sure what you’re taking it for but if it’s for anxiety (like me) it usually kicks in 10-20 mins making my thoughts less rapid/anxious :) takes a couple weeks to build up in your system tho! Just be mindful when you first start taking it of how it makes you feel and you will be fine!!! It really does help me :)
