The most commonly noted side effects associated with anti-anxiety meds are sedation, which is reported in approximately 1 in 2 people (one-half of patients), dizziness (one-third of patients), weakness, and unsteadiness. Other side effects include a feeling of depression, loss of orientation, headache, and sleep disturbance.\n\nLike all benzodiazepines, anti-anxiety meds can cause physical dependence. Suddenly stopping therapy after a few months of daily therapy may be associated with a feeling of loss of self-worth, agitation, and insomnia. If the medication is taken continuously for longer than a few months, stopping therapy suddenly may produce seizures, tremors, muscle cramping, vomiting, and/or sweating. Therefore, discontinuation usually is accomplished by tapering the dose.

Gabapentin is used to help in the treatment of various types of epilepsy, to help control the fits or blackouts. It is nearly always used with other antiepileptic drugs.\nGabapentin is also being used to help as a mood stabiliser, where other drugs have not helped, but early evidence is not promising. \nIt is legal (and common) to prescribe medicines for so-called off-label uses even though the FDA has not formally approved such use. So gabapentin is often used "off-label" for many types of pain as well as for some mood disorders, such as anxiety. In fact, more people have taken gabapentin to treat pain than to control seizures.

Isoniazid is a type of antibiotics used to combat TB and in some cases HIV. Typically, it's not wise to mix alcohol use with any type of antibiotics, but with Isoniazid, the side effects could outweigh the need or desire to drink. Peripheral neuropathy is the most common side effect. Signs and symptoms of peripheral neuropathy are numbness, tingling, or an unusual sensation such as burning or prickling on the skin. Hepatitis is the most dangerous. Hepatitis is an inflammation of the liver. Signs and symptoms of hepatitis are yellow eyes and skin, nausea, vomiting, anorexia, dark urine, unusual tiredness, or weakness. Severe reactions may occur if you eat foods containing high concentrations of tyramine such as aged cheeses, avocados, bananas, beer, caffeinated beverages, chocolate, sausages, liver, overripe fruit, red wine, smoked or pickled fish, yeasts, and yogurt.

Vicodin is a Narcotic painkiller, and gabapentin is the generic for Neurontin, which is an anti-seizure drug.  You can't get it without a prescription, and it is dangerous to take it without one.  Your friend could get into trouble for dispensing drugs without a license, too!
