Neurontin & OCD?

LadyDeb
LadyDeb
Hello again. I thought I sent a post about this but can't find it, so guess I didn't. I'm wondering if anyone else is taking Neurontin/gabapentin and it's making OCD worse? I've read that it can actually help with that, but mine seems worse since I started taking it for the fibromyalgia.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Debbie

I have OCD, major depressive disorder, anxiety, PTSD, and fibro. I take gabapentin and have not noticed a difference in my OCD. My OCD is very controlled right now, and has been for quite a few years. I've noticed that the gabapentin does help my anxiety a little.

LadyDeb,

I would definitely ask your Doctor about this and also Pharmacists are great to ask questions to. It could be the Med but it could be the dose.
Everyone is so different. So talk to your Doctor about it.

    My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
