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. Gabapentin works wonders for my anxiety. I take 900mg at a time (3 300mg capsules) It’s short acting so I’m prescribed it 3 times daily. I think it can be addicting but if your taking it like prescribed, I wouldn’t worry too much. It sounds like I’m taking a ton but gabapentin is prescribed in those high doses for some reason. I take 300 MG as needed for anxiety. It definitely helps and taking it as needed has helped with not needing to increase dosage. The first time I took it I felt so "normal" if that makes sense. 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? 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. Many claim it gives them energy and is stimulating and helps them focus. Many say it helps sleep. Others complain that is just causes tons of bad brain fog and causes them trouble functioning cognitively, makes them feel clumsy and dumb and mushy, weight gain, and fatigue and actually makes their anxiety much worse. Some say withdrawals are 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. On top of relieving pain, it really helps my brain fog and anxiety too, but those are also symptoms of fibro. I’ve had panic disorder and depression my whole life though, but my anxiety was worse than ever in my life before I started Gabapentin. 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 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. 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, Pregabalin does help with anxiety for me to a certain extent but Its controlled and not commonly prescribed for anxiety in the U.S even though it is commonly overseas Reply reply More posts you may like Funny you mention 5-htp—I’ve also noticed a huge benefit from it. I take it every night actually. I was on Zoloft previously, and 5-htp seems to be at least 60-70% as effective as Zoloft for me with practically no side effects. Definitely helps my anxiety and mood. Seems to go well with the stimulant and helps with any added anxiety from that. It worked pretty well at stabilizing my mood. The problem with gabapentin is that it's easy to abuse and there's health risks that come with that abuse. I definitely did. Used it to get a buzz a couple of times. Also I found that hydroxyzine worked way better at managing short term anxiety. Many claim it gives them energy and is stimulating and helps them focus. Many say it helps sleep. Others complain that is just causes tons of bad brain fog and causes them trouble functioning cognitively, makes them feel clumsy and dumb and mushy, weight gain, and fatigue and actually makes their anxiety much worse. Some say withdrawals are 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. 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 Everyone is different. 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. Was given Gabapentin for pain but noticed it stopped those thoughts dead in their 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. While it's true that GABA plays a role in anxiety, anxiety is complex, and researchers are still trying to figure out how and if gabapentin might work to ease symptoms of moderate or severe anxiety.
