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: 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. I’ve tried beta blockers before and they help a lot with the physical symptoms but it doesn’t really help at all mentally. I have some questions regarding Gabapentin. Is it good for social anxiety and if you guys take it, do you take it on a daily basis or as needed? 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. Is anyone here who uses or used Gabapentin for his Social Anxiety? What are the effects like? How did it help you? What changes could you recognize in your behavior, thinking and (social) life in general? What do you think about my idea getting gabapentin prescribed but only use it as a emergency medication just like many people do with benzos. GABA is the skeletal building block from which GabaPentin, PreGabalin/Lyrica and Baclofen are derived. Note that GABA is contained within the names of GabaPenti and PreGabalin. I tried it years ago, but don't recall much in the way of anxiety relief. Hello everyone and Happy Holidays — I recently was prescribed Gabapentin for anxiety, 900mg once a day. My main trigger of anxiety is social situations (out in public, talking to new people, new situations). I am wondering if anyone had any success with this medi Gabapentin has an average rating of 7.2 out of 10 from a total of 2,568 reviews on Drugs.com. 64% of reviewers reported a positive experience, while 21% reported a negative experience. HBe For Anxiety "This is the best medication for anxiety that I've ever tried. You know what it makes me feel like? I see im a bit late to the party but I wanted to share my experiences with using gabapentin to help with the social/mood aspects of my anxiety and depression. I have been taking 2 300mg capsules per day right before work for a long time and the effects it provides are nothing short of miraculous. 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. "This medication has saved my life. I take 600 mg as needed, and it eliminates the panic I feel from certain social situations. It relaxes me and calms me down. I recommend this medication to anyone who has social phobia and unpredictable anxiety that comes up suddenly." 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? Well, Gabapentin is used off-label for depression but especially anxiety disorders. Makes sense as it’s a gabapentinoid similar to Pregabalin (Lyrica) which is used very often for anxiety. And I find it kind of harsh that you have the attitude of recommending Clonazepam as the safest treatment for depression and anxiety. I really like Gabapentin for anxiety it really did work the only thing I noticed was that it built up a tolerance which I did not like. Now I take Baclofen and it works really well for my social anxiety and it doesn't build up a tolerance, I've actually went lower in my dose and still have the same effect after 2 years of being on it. Distress in social situations, causing impaired functioning in daily life. Triggered by perceived or actual scrutiny from others. Physical symptoms may include: blushing, excess sweating, trembling, palpitations, and nausea, stammering, along, rapid speech, panic attacks.. I've used it for social anxiety with fair results. Sometimes it brightens my social mood but other times I can't really feel it. Still, I like it better than benzos because it doesn't make me drowsy (like ativan). Also, I've noticed that sometimes I'll feel lethargic and kinda hungover the next day (only take 300mg). Don't know if that's common
