Here's my "take" on Neurontin:

--It has anti-anxiety and antidepressant actions.
--It has no anticholinergic side-effects.
--Few sexual side-effects.
--It now comes in 600 and 800 mg tablets, reducing the number of pills one takes per day
--It requires no blood-levels taken.
--It has gained the respect of psychiatrists world-wide in less than a decade.
--Gabapentin has few negative drug interactions; it can even be taken with MAOIs and moclobemide.

Here are the studies that prove Neurontin's efficacy:
