hascan have serious side effects for some people, dont just go get some and go “o we gonna be good.”
FTFY. Everyone’s brain chemistry is different. For some, it can be a lifesaver in low doses for anxiety, for some (like me) it can be used as an adjunct to acetaminophen/paracetamol in a combination that is more effective for pain than opioids (had a minor hemorrhage in an adrenal gland - not fun), and for others it can cause extreme depression and other behavior changes.
Noone should take it without the supervision of a medical professional.

Neither my partner or I have any side effects with gabapentin! I take it occasionally, and they take like 900-1200mg daily for spicy nerve pain that makes life horrible.
