I almost had a knee jerk reaction to when my vet suggested it at my last visit.

For a simple exam+vaccine... My cats have had no prior issues at their annual visits before last may.

I brought my cats together for a change and them handling anxiety differently, I feel, made her more anxious that particular visit. 🫣 she also got excited+frustrated seeing a squirrel in the yard through the window in the exam room too pfft.

Back to gabba; Probably due to my bad personal experience.

It was for nerve/fibro pain. But I ended up being a passively suicidal zombie at 900mg a day at ~210 lbs @.@ bonus depersonalization/derealization.

Tho I did have a "toss in a dark box and pray" type semi feral cat, decades ago that I probably wouldn't think twice on filling the prescription for.🙀

What did you end up doing for your cat?

That’s really scary. My partner was like that when they were on it too. Very scary!
