Gabapentin caused me to feel wonderful at first! Then my libido hit the roof and beyond. I would get bloated in the belly and urinate more frequent. I never slept. My hair thinned.I developed a bladder infection and hyponatremia and went off of the drug. At first it helped my pain, my social phobia, anxiety, better memory, i was no longer depressed and saw life through rose colored glasses. I was loosing weight on it. How I miss it.
