Very low dose: Gabapentin 100mg three times a day is a very low dose, so I suspect that the depression you're experiencing may be related to your your underlying depression and not gabapentin. If you're feeling depressed and thinking about hurting yourself or someone else please call 911. There are many psychologists and psychiatrists on HealthTap who would be happy to speak with you about your depression
