1) It produces psychoactive effects that cause it to have potential for recreational use. Even in low doses, gabapentin causes sensations of reduced acute pain and reduced anxiety. Larger doses can cause the user to become numb and even fully insensate. Tolerance to gabapentin occurs extremely rapidly with recreational use, with the user often needing to double the dosage within a day or two of misuse.

2) Gabapentin has been associated with an increased risk of suicidal acts or violent deaths.

3) Abrupt withdrawal will cause suffering.

4) Gabapentin's most common side effects in adult patients include dizziness, fatigue, weight gain, drowsiness, and edema.

5) In certain cases, susceptibility to mild-to-moderate mood swings, hostility, concentration problems, liver damage and hyperactivity have been observed.

There are many side effects associated with Gabapentin 300mg, 600mg, 800mg some of them are quite common and can be seen in many people who take the dose but some rare which are rather harmful and can cause severe illness.

To avoid the harmful side effects of gabapentin, take the number of capsules as instructed by your doctor. Hence, we can conclude that gabapentin is used for many treatments but it is not appropriate to call it a mood stabilizer.

Less serious side effects may include:

Dizziness, Drowsiness

Weakness, Tired Feeling

Nausea, Diarrhea

Constipation

Blurred Vision

A headache

Breast Swelling

Dry Mouth

Loss of Balance or Coordination
