Overall, gabapentin helps my anxiety a lot as well as mood regulation, and thus helps my focus, and is stimulating to me, although it does also cause a weird kind of brain fog at the same time if that makes sense. Propranolol helps me not feel my heart and that helps my anxiety. As far as social anxiety goes, I think it helps me slightly but I am also prescribed klonopin in addition to gabapentin so I think the klonopin really helps with the social anxiety. I take gabapentin 800mg 3x a day everyday and klonopin as needed. I was just curious about everyones experience with Neurontin(gabapentin). I find it helps me focus, reduces anxiety, and gives me energy. Probably the best effect I get from it is when I lift weights. Beside anabolic steroids I find this to be one of the best ergogenic aids I have ever used. The strength gains and endurance is absolutely amazing. You literally have no idea what I went through in the 25 years I went undiagnosed and unmedicated with ADHD. How dare you accuse me and shame me of essentially “not trying hard enough”. That’s like telling a depressed person not to be sad. Clearly if I sought medical help several times it was because I was at my breaking point. Eating plenty of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean protein can help lessen complications from chronic kidney disease, and improve your focus and concentration. If you’re not sure how to eat a healthy diet, talk to a registered dietitian. 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. HOW TO PROPERLY USE GABAPENTIN: Assuming 300mg per pill, take one pill every thirty minutes, a total of three pills (taking more will make it weaker, see below) Drink each down with a decent amount of fizzy soda. The acidity helps it absorb in the stomach. Trust me. Do this. Once you've taken the last pill, have a nice meal. Do you suffer from brain fog on gabapentin, or are you able to function mentally well like focus, etc. ? did the brain fog/cloudy feeling ever go away/at a lower dose? do you feel a better, more stable mood, or a worse mood? By indirectly modulating glutamate levels, Gabapentin might help balance the excitatory and inhibitory signals in the brain, potentially improving focus and reducing hyperactivity. Anecdotal evidence and patient experiences have contributed to the growing interest in Gabapentin for ADHD. I take these exact meds as well. I take 300mg of gaba at night. I want to try to wean myself off of them now as I originally took them to help with the major anxiety from benzo withdrawal. But now im scared i will get bad withdrawal from gabapentin. It does help me sleep but i dont notice it helping much with anxiety throughout the day. To start, i'm going to be following up about this with my doctor. I mentioned before about trying a medication I tried before again, though to elaborate it's because they kept saying I was considered untreated because I wasn't taking medication (because the didn't work and I was hit hard with side effects but that didn't matter.) Patient Forums for Gabapentin. Part of the Brain and nerves category. Symptom, treatment and advice from community members Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor Recreational benzo use is not the same as therapeutic GABA agonists. For some people, I believe myself included, being able to slightly "turn the volume down" on our receptors seems beneficial in many aspects. i've tried gabapentin and all kinds of "pams" and they made me feel "normal" on small doses, however as they were un Rx'd it spiralled out of Years ago I was switch to Gralise, which is extended release gabapentin. it helps just as much but with less side effects! If it doesn't help for you it may be worth asking your doc about the ER version. Good luck, hope you can find some relief! The doctor put me on Gabapentin in an effort to wean me off the Percocet. So far, it's working, and I'm taking much less of the Percocet. I have 400mg/3x a day for typical days, and she prescribed 600 mg for my bad days. However, the 600 mg makes me feel very spacey and unable to focus, slightly headachey. It does help with the pain though. the worst side effect of gabaergics, especially gabapentinoids, while taking them, is brain fog which gets increasingly worse the longer the patient is on them. however, the absolute worst side effect is that they are addictive, with effects as bad as seizures or death with abrupt cessation after taking them for long enough for physical dependence to kick in (think 3-6 months). also, do not I have ADHD and gabapentin works extremely well for my anxiety, but I also found that it helps my focus, almost better than stimulants like adderral do. I feel mentally calm and focused on the right dose of gabapentin (300-600 mg), and I actually have felt more energetic on it. Yup, by far my favorite med for sleep. Helps me get to sleep, keeps me asleep, little to no hangover. The big drawback is I can’t use it every day. 2 days on 2 days off at most. For my off days I’m trying to find the right dose of Clonidine OR baclofen to get to sleep but not be hungover I have 60 400mg tablets ready to kick this thing. I’m just curious how much it actually helps. I’m at about 75-90 mg a day and have a bit of Welcome to /r/gabapentin, here we primarily discuss issues pertaining to the medical, prescribed use of Gabapentin, Lyrica and Phenibut, as well as other Gaba related drugs.
