Hi there!

So I've used Ativan for a while, but I don't like using it too much because it's a benzo and I already had issues getting dependent on it. My psychiatrist gave me Gabapentin to try, but I've been terrified to get started.

A couple weeks ago, she also prescribed me Abilify. I took one very low dose of it and ended up fainting and then getting extremely sick. Due to that, I'm feeling very wary of new medications. 

Have any of you had good experiences with Gabapentin? Or even if you didn't... what were the side effects like? I've only ever heard of fainting with Abilify (my friend had the exact same fainting issue while on it) but after going through that, I really want to be extra careful. Did you guys have any nausea/vomiting/fainting?

Thanks so much in advance!
