I don't know a whole lot about it and I think everyone's experience is valid... but there isn't really any scientific evidence that neurontin therapy is helpful in the long term at ameliorating psychiatric symptoms. I think it is terribly overprescribed by psychiatrists, which I think is kind of unfortunate b/c they should know about the importance of evidence-based medicine.
I'm pretty sure the only evidence in favor of using neurontin to treat psychiatric illnesses is anecdotal, which just isn't trustworthy enough to justify a pharmaceutical treatment, in my opinion.
