For me, I became "scary" according to my ex. As in, he was concerned I might do him a permanent damage. I could have too, and it wouldn't have bothered me. I am not allowed to take them, and gabapentin is much the same. Severe mood imbalance is a known side effect that no doctor who has tried to give it to me has acknowledged, save for the original doc.
It is also the only one that caused me to make a serious error while driving. Both times it was on a private drive at low speed, so lucky no harm done.
FWIW, the standard pain relief Emergency gives is 1 endone, 1 nurofen & 1 panadol.

Affected me also, with a strange veering to the left feeling (no pun intended lol) on occasion..... also often being one cupboard door off, when trying to access stuff in my kitchen.... quit in less than a week & didnt drive in that time due to those side affects.... dont reckon the Dr believed me!
Obviously wouldnt recommend it!
