David,

This may be a worn record for many here-but I have read that people should not abruptly discontinue Neurontin if they have comorbid OCD. Evidently the discontinuation causes a lot of agitation and exacerbation of OCD symtpoms. That might lend one to think that Neurontin could be helpful as an adjunct for OCD.
