I just got prescribed 300mg of Gabapentin 3x a day, with the possibility to increase to 4x a day if needed. This is for long term management of anxiety but reading about everyone’s experience online is really stressing me out. Users share their experiences and opinions on how gabapentin affects their anxiety at different doses. Some report positive effects, others negative or no effects, and some compare with other medications. A user on r/Anxiety subreddit posts about how gabapentin helped them with their generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) and gets positive feedback from other users. The post does not mention the dose or duration of gabapentin use. I had increased anxiety, felt weird, and was getting weird muscle twitches and body jerks. I’m asking my doc to switch me back to Gabapentin because for me personally it works and feels way better/safer. If the max dosage of Gabapentin ever stops working for me I’ll give lyrica another try. 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. Has anyone taken it off label for anxiety? If so, what was your optimum dosage? And how long did it take to start working? Thank you! Hi folks. I've been prescribed gabapentin for anxiety 100mg x 3 per day. I took it for a week and didn't even notice any slight difference. I know it's a low dose but not sure if I need to try higher doses without seeing any effect. Does gabapentin supposed to work immediately for anxiety or need to build up like for neuropathic pain? I have been prescribed 300 mg doses of gabapentin that I am approved to take up to three times a day for anxiety. I’m having a really bad bout of anxiety lately so I’m just trying to figure out the ideal timing on these doses. Yup.prescribed. 900mg/day but usually only take 600 but with benzos too ( clonazepam and temazepam ) .. I was on lexapro for a few years which helped greatly but eventually the side effects outweighted any benefits the gabapentin helps a little but not that much and the weight gain is bad and hard to loose but thats the only side effect i get. Gabapentin is an off-label medication for anxiety that may help with situational anxiety but not generalized anxiety disorder. Learn about its dosage, side effects, misuse, and how it compares to Xanax. I take 600mgs of gabapentin for anxiety 3xs a day in addition to 2 beta blockers that are also supposed to help ease the anxiety AND 1mg of ativan. The gabapentin is what they put me on most recently and it didn't seem to help much until my dose was significantly increased. I do very much believe it's helping now. I just realized my scrip is actually for 2400, but I cut the morning 600mg dose because it made my me pretty useless. The combination helps with anxiety, and it helps me sleep, and it completely controls the chronic nerve pain that was starting to make me think about an early exit. Life-changing and life-saving in my case. Basically you get a higher dose if you split the dose into parts throughout the day rather than one dose per day. The science of why this works is on the page I mentioned, so it is interesting that a doctor would take a total 600mg per day dose that's 300mg twice a day and change it to a full 600mg at once dose. However, I did notice a side effect of it taking the top edge off of anxiety - a regular dose in the morning and at night made the difference between sweating palms and heavily intrusive thoughts about trauma being extremely distracting and these things not being extremely distracting. For this dose take 600mg (1 whole tablet). For the rest of your staggering experience, you will want to repeat the 45 minute intervals, have a smaller snack each time, however taking 300mgs (half tablet) until you reach desired effect. The typical dosage for gabapentin in treating anxiety ranges from 100 mg to 300 mg daily. Some common side effects of gabapentin for anxiety are dizziness, tiredness, and unsteadiness. Gabapentin’s off-label uses include treating generalized anxiety disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder. 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. Dr. Just started me on Gabapentin. I'm taking it for anxiety. I'm very sensitive to meds so he started me on 100 mg 3xday. Depending on how I feel, he will up dosage in 2 wks. Will I feel anything on this low dose? 1 like, 18 replies I currently take 1200 mg gabapentin a day. Sometimes i feel like I don’t need that third or fourth dose of 300 mg tho. At 600 mg, most days, I am feeling fine and balanced overall, with little side effects apart from some brain fog. 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. 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?
