I started to have anxiety symptoms in the middle of September. My doctor put me on an anti depressant even though I wasn't depressed, to help with the anxiety. Six weeks later I was not really feeling any effects. That was six weeks curled up in a ball with nausea and whole body nerve stress. n and nerves. Gabapentin is from a group of medicines called anticonvulsants. I have talked to numerous people, and gabapentin DOES not help them with "anything". They might as well take Tylenol. I also talked to a nurse in a nursing/rehab facility, and she also stated that gabapentin does NOT work for her sciatica patients. In clinical trials, gabapentin has shown a significant reduction in anxiety symptoms, making it a viable option for those who struggle with chronic anxiety that is resistant to other medications. The appeal of gabapentin lies in its relatively mild side-effect profile compared to more traditional anxiolytics, which can be more sedative and Readers will learn how gabapentin works, the dosages typically recommended, and the common side effects. We will also share stories from patients. Some found relief from symptoms like Generalized Anxiety Disorder, but others faced tough side effects. Looking for success stories of people who have taken gaba for these psychiatric reasons Have you found it to work? If so, what dose range has worked best for you where it helps but without bad side effects? Is there a particular dose range I should target? Do lower doses tend to help more with anxiety, depression, insomnia then higher doses? Your anxiety about taking it is justificed jesika. Gaba. is a very potent drug. And it depends on how much you take also. I know. I have alot of expirence with gabapentin having used it for over 4 years ( I'm free from it now for 6 months after a very gradual tapering process. ) I was taking 900 mg/per day for 4 years . for a while i was on a normal dose and felt great. after increasing my dose due to heightened anxiety about some life changes, i was on way too much of it (my psychiatrist is very pill-happy) and felt great at first but awful after a while. i thought the solution would be to quit, but once i tapered down to a reasonable amount (back to 300 2x a day) i feel amazing mood-wise. it helps a lot Our vet behaviorist is thinking about switching our dog to clomicalm/clomipramine as we are not having the results we are looking for with fluvoxamine paired with gabapentin (sedation, still anxious) and it's a different category of anti-anxiety medication (SNRI instead of SSRI). Rebecca*, 31, was given gabapentin for generalized anxiety after trying Celexa and Effexor, two commonly used medications. When my brain tumor issues began causing my pain issues, my neurologist raised the dosage from an anxiety-relief dose to a nerve pain dose. I currently take 300 mg 3/day, so 900 mg/day total. 1 Like Yes, I see more success stories than failure stories. I think it heavily depends on what the person takes gabapentin for and what they expect out of it, as well as dose and personal metabolic levels. Gabapentin works wonders for me, and I have a few VET friends who swear by it. If it weren't for gabapentin, my friend wouldn't get out of bed My anxiety was through the freakin roof. Everyday I’d have a pit in my stomach like I was always on the verge of having a panic attack. One time a panic attack hit me so hard my hands folded in on themselves and I couldn’t unlock my fingers. There were a few times I thought about admitting myself because I couldn’t bare it any longer. For some, this experience can be as excruciating and difficult as a benzo taper, particularly if undertaken after tapering off of a Benzo. I'm interested in hearing from anyone who has a success story to share after successfully tapering and healing from Gabapentin withdrawals. Thanks in advance, NW Guy 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. Reviews and ratings for Gabapentin when used in the treatment of anxiety. 491 reviews submitted with a 7.9 average score. 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. In recent years, gabapentin has gained attention for its potential role in managing anxiety disorders, particularly for individuals who do not respond well to traditional anxiety medications like SSRIs or benzodiazepines. 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, including: Neurontin (gabapentin) for Anxiety "Neurontin has changed my life dramatically. I suffered from high anxiety with panic and anxiety attacks. I started this medicine at about 19 and had been off and on it the past 13 years. It literally has made me a new person. In the spirit of bringing some positivity to light, if you take gabapentin and have found success with it, can you please share your story— how much (what dosage) do you take? For how long have you been taking it? And for what condition? (Neuropathy, anxiety, depression, etc.) Thank you.
