Hi,
You are right that Neurontin can cause aggression and dark thoughts. However, this is not a common side effect. Still, we recommend to start it low and I create gradually if any time you feel you well you can stop it. Or if you are too worried, you may talk to your doc for an alternative; though these side effects are not common.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
