Gabapentin & Mirtazapine were the ones that had a subtle positive effect on depression and social anxiety. Escitalopram had a huge effect but lasted only one week (why? Idk as all other SSRI/SNRIs had no effect at all) Im trying to increasy my mood to more positive, be less anxious about the future, decrease my social anxiety (very important! "Gabapentin (Neurontin, Gabarone) is widely used in the treatment of a variety of neuropathic pain, including peripheral neuropathies, restless leg syndrome, and bipolar disorder, depression, and anxiety disorders." Gabapentin has been approved by the United States (US) Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for postherpetic neuralgia and as adjunctive therapy for focal seizures. 1 However, a recent analysis of US physician office-based prescription practices between 2011 and 2016 found that less than one percent of gabapentin prescriptions are for such indications. 2 In 2020, gabapentin was reported to be Hi there, I have noticed that Gabapentin or Pregabalin helps me a great deal with my lifelong anxiety disorder after a lot of other medication My understanding with the gabapentin vs. Pregabalin (Lyrica) is that Lyrica is much more immediately bio available than gabapentin. So it hits you faster and with the full intensity of the dose rather than gabapentin, which has less bioavailability and a slower build and release time, requiring more frequent dosing if taken throughout the day. Long story short I resisted taking daily pain meds. Many made me feel horrible. But gabapentin feels like Adderrall without the train ride effect. I was on Adderrall and over time became addicted (my diagnosis) because it made me lose weight, helped social anxiety, helped chronic fatigue and depression but I kept having to up the dose. My doctor prescribed me 600mg twice a day. I googled it and it’s not used for depression or anxiety. I’m confused. And yes my cat took gabapentin temporarily for anxiety due to a kidney disorder that caused her to pee in random places instead of the litterbox, while the kidney medication (and specialty food) took effect. My doctor had given me the choice of gabapentin (100-200mg at nighttime *as needed* to help with sleep anxiety) or a benzo taken 6x daily. Although evidence is limited, some studies show gabapentin can help with anxiety symptoms. One 2020 review suggests gabapentin may help with different types of situational anxiety, Glad to see im not the only one who didn’t get ocd relief from gabapentin and pregabalin, it relieved some anxiety but intrusive thoughts and doing compulsions wasn’t reduced at all even when i did higher doses to get high 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. Gabapentin has been an actual miracle drug for me. I have been prescribed around 30 or 40 pharmaceuticals in total since I was 6 years old due to really bad depression, anxiety and insomnia. I only found gabapentin 2 years ago but it has allowed me to go off every other med and just take gabapentin with otc supplements and weed. Though medications and how they work are very subjective I’d still like to hear if any kind of anxiety or depression meds have worked for you if you are neurodivergent. I have tried prozac and mirtazapine and neither of them did anything for my anxiety or depression. My therapist mentioned this might be because I’m neurodivergent. In my experience, this came with memory issues both short and long term. For example, recalling people's names, or sports team rosters is harder, the higher the dose. The longer it's used, the more memories/pathways are removed - this seems bad but it's not if you've come through trauma, including anxiety/depression being forefront for a while. 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 stopped my intrusive thoughts that would lead to anxiety & panic attacks. The thoughts would start as soon as I woke up & I would fight them all day long. It made it very hard to fall asleep or to go back to sleep after waking. I'm struggling with the withdrawal symptoms from effexor, and my NP prescribed gabapentin to help with the anxiety and burning nerves pain. Not once did she say that I would have to go through all of this again when stopping gabapentin. We would like to show you a description here but the site won’t allow us. I take gabapentin daily for my anxiety, but I also tend to take 2-3 day breaks in between to break up my tolerance every few weeks, those in between days are pretty brutal as the withdrawal usually begins around the 24 hour mark, and I usually lose an entire night of sleep.
