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 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. My psychiatrist added Gabapentin to the other medicines that I was prescribed for acute anxiety. I must be extremely medication resistant because my dose had to keep increasing until I got to 3200mg per day. 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. 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. No one on reddit can assess what your dog needs, how large they are, what breed, the nature of the injury, etc etc from this post. For what it's worth, I give my 30 lb dog ~300mg of gabapentin for anxiety as needed (like around the 4th of July) as recommended by my vet. A short-term dose should not be an issue, but you should really call your vet. Because doctors prescribe gabapentin off-label for anxiety, there’s no specific dosage for treating anxiety symptoms. Your dosage will depend on your: A potential starting dose is 300 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! High dose Gabapentin worked 1000x better for my anxiety compared to lyrica. Lyrica increased my anxiety and gave me muscle spasms/jerks and made me feel like I was gonna have a seizure. It seems to work differently then Gabapentin somehow. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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? 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 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. 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.
