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.
