I'm certainly not suggesting u go cold turkey being that it's a year that would be dangerous
Yes it doesn't bother some people, maybe just people like myself (I suffer ocd, anxiety, depression but the horrific crying & suicidal thoughts came back like a flood within one week of Gabapentin & and went away almost immediately when I stopped cold turkey) -but I've read of people who never fought suicidal ideations , depression ect that get these problems with this drug. All things react differently with different people. It's a very dangerous drug for many, perhaps it's notbthevpain pills they should think are killing people maybe it's the off brand use of drugs- like GABA
Well I've been taking gabapentin for about a year now and it doesn't seem to have an effect on me that way other then these last two weeks because of the coffee I think.
This site indicates extreme restlessness as one side effect please do read up on it

They gave me Gabapentin for nerve pain I began crying having suicidal thoughts just after one week on them. Coffee seems to have done a number on you. I have everything u have but not bipolar. I don't like the avatan as much as clonazepam it's very mild once in body I take venlafaxine 75 mg a day. Be careful with gabapentin though it's used off label for bipolar & nerve pain it's for epilepsy. It's a group on the internet for this because several almost tried suicide while on this. Ask ur doctor to try something elee
Do you wanna know the symptoms that I have on a regular basis or only as I go through this spell?
Nobody can diagnose you on the internet, and it's unlikely you have some very rare disease, so don't let people frighten you. But it does sound like you were sick, perhaps a minor virus, as that would be consistent with your feelings after working out. Combined with taking a lot of drugs one of which is very stimulating and a lot of coffee in a short period of time your anxiety kicked in, as it does. I'm curious about your actual symptoms, though, as Bipolar 2 and OCD are very often diagnosed but seldom exist as something other than just being obsessively anxious and depressed. Categories are most often created for purposes of medication approval and patent and insurance company coverage -- they aren't necessarily any different from what they were before doctors start going to town on them. I only say this to say, it sounds like you suffer basically from anxiety and depression, and that makes us exaggerate things -- it is what the disorder is. I hope that's all this is.
There are common but rarely diagnosed conditions that will cause all of your problems, brain fog, anxiety, depression, exercise intolerance, muscle fatigue, chronic fatigue and many more problems. I have one of these conditions called May-Thurner Syndrome. Another one that someone I know has is called Nutcracker Syndrome. It's possible you have one of these or both. I had a stent placed recently at the May-Thurner site and almost immediately all problems dissappeared. Hope this helps and feel free to private message me if you have any questions.
