Nuts? Gabapentin has become one of the most prescribed anxiety meds. You’ll either get Gabapentin, SSRI, SNRI or Buspar Commenters recommended providing their cat Gabapentin on a previous Reddit post to help with anxiety, and I want to try every method possible before having to make the tough decision to rehome her. I would love to hear anyone’s experiences with giving Gabapentin to their cat, especially when it comes to introductions. Thanks friends! Gabapentin has been a godsend - no side effects for me except mild myoclonic jerks when I am falling asleep. I also take Propanolol daily (and have been for 2 years) - that is another absolute godsend. Propanolol stopped my daily+ panic attacks, and gabapentin then helped with my general anxiety levels which are high 24/7. Gabapentin isn’t the main treatment option for anxiety, but it can be an effective alternative when other medications haven’t worked. I’ve struggled with anxiety for over 7 years. Tried many SSRI’s and SNRI’s and buspar. Minimal help. Supplemented with klonopin (posted this recently as a topic). I just started using 300 mg gabapentin (100 mg in morning and 200 mg) in evening). Seems to be helping. Anyone else using it? TLDR: Are there any better alternatives to gabapentin that also maybe don’t cause as much of the brain fog/cognitive impairment/fatigue issues? Or do all the types of medications that work on similar brain areas / work on anti-anxiety, depression, etc. usually affect cognitive performance / executive functioning to some degree? I take 400x3 right now, but Thursday I plan on asking for 600x3. The research that has been done and the literature on the Gabapentin for anxiety is actually a pretty high dose upwards of 2400-3600mg to actually be chronically effective from what I’ve read. I never want to utilize said dose. Are SSRI’s like Zoloft or SNRI’s like Wellbutrin really the best long term alternative for long term depression/anxiety treatment, in terms of medication options? My doctor just prescribed me Gabapentin 100mg 3x per day for anxiety. She said she’s had much success with patients who can’t use benzos. And the online reviews are very positive. Gabapentin is helpful to some people with specific pain problems as many in the comments are suggesting. However if you are getting TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation) to treat depression and/or anxiety keep in mind gabapentin can actually reduce the efficacy of the treatment. Welcome to /r/gabapentin, here we primarily discuss issues pertaining to the medical, prescribed use of Gabapentin, Lyrica and Phenibut, as well as other Gaba related drugs. This IS NOT the subreddit for discussion of how to get high or otherwise abuse GP. I just started Gabapentin for anxiety. I do also take 87.5mg Zoloft (I'm edging myself up to the goal of 100mg, slowly), and 150mg of Lamictal. I have dysthymia and GAD, with some social anxiety as well. Yesterday I added 600mg in the early afternoon. I'll likely take 600mg three times a day but maybe only twice per day. We did exams and she was fine physically. We really believe it is anxiety because she will use the litter box if we are next to her. I am really hoping gabapenin works for her. She is my world. I bottle fed her since she was 1 day old. I want her to be happy and not live with constant anxiety. I did everything possible for her environment to be Gabapentin, while slower, may still be effective for individuals with specific anxiety profiles, such as social anxiety. It may also be a better option for individuals who have both anxiety and chronic pain or those seeking a medication with a lower risk of misuse.
