Neurontin contains gabapentin. The common side effects of Neurontin include weakness, swelling of extremities, sedation, blood glucose fluctuation, jaundice, fever, hyponatraemia, infection, otitis media, leucopenia, anorexia, increased appetite, depression, anxiety, hostility, insomnia, headache, and paraesthesia. Weight can occur as a result of retention of fluid. Neurontin is used for treatment of neurological pain and control of seizure. It is not used for treatment of anxiety and depression.
Advice
1.     Stop Neurontin
2.     Escitalopram 5 mg in the morning orally for depression
3.     Clonazepam 0.25 mg per oral at bed time for 2 months
4.     Exercise at least half an hour in a day
5.     Practice meditation
6.     Consult a psychiatrist for further counseling and follow up
