You don't think perhaps his doctors (and by extension the drug companies advising the doctors) are the ones with the responsibility to fully explain the potential risks to the patient first?
I'm not sure if you just say these things with the intention of offending people or not but you're doing a pretty good job......
gabapentin's side effects profile pretty clearly details emotional/mental side effects that could result in what the complaining poster described. they're not trying to hide that these are side effects. why would there be a lawsuit? if a patient experiences serious side effects that are known to be common then it's their own job and their doctor's job to make the decision to get off the medication ASAP and deal w/ the side effects as best as they can. it has nothing to do w/ Big Pharma/class action lawsuits, they're not hiding the side effects; they're well known and fairly common.
