So about powerful drugs like benzos and gabapentin, they probably make anxiety worse by another mechanism. Anxiety disorders get worse by trying to squash down the anxiety, either by neurotic self assurance thoughts, OCD physical behaviours, or I imagine by drugs. I have taken gabapentin and Lyrica. I would advise you not to take either as they can sometimes make symptoms worse. Also increase anxiety if you have GAD as I do Gabapentin is used for social anxiety in humans and it is kind of what he has. He loves people, but is terrified of strangers. It chills him out, but doesn't make him sleepy/out of it like the Trazodone, which seems to make his anxiety worse. He is still scared of strangers. It just takes more to get him to loose it. I always get downvoted into oblivion for this, but Gabapentin killed my last dog - it’s used off label for veterinary medicine, and most pet owners are not informed of the risk. All dogs are different, I just want to make sure owners have the option to make informed decision and be aware of possible side effects. 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 Gabapentin never made me super anxious, but I did experience a lot of brain fog and mental slowness which made me extremely paranoid that everyone was hyper focused on how stupid I was sounding. I also felt extreme temperature changes on Gabapentin, but those side effects wore off after a week or so (it's been a few years since I tried Gabapentin). Gabapentin can actually help if you have depression, anxiety, or mood swings. I’m a nurse and the docs frequently prescribe it to elderly patients to help with their mood since a lot of anti-depressants have increased risk of super unpleasant side effects in the elderly-especially those with dementia. 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 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: Normally I'd only use it as an adjunctive med in combination with another medication for anti-anxiety, though. There's some fear-mongering here, but Stahl's Prescriber's guide notes that Gabapentin is not habit forming and is safe for long-term use. 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 terrible. If you have taken or take gabapentin currently, what has your experience been like? TIA. 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 has an average rating of 7.9 out of 10 from a total of 451 reviews for the off-label treatment of Anxiety. 75% of reviewers reported a positive experience, while 15% reported a negative experience. 7.9 average rating out of 10. 451 ratings from 490 user reviews. Compare all 136 medications used in the treatment of Anxiety. HBe I’m not sure gabapentin has affected my anxiety and I’m on 300 mg 3x day +100 mg as needed. I’d say stick out the gaba for a month to see if the side effects settle and then consider switching. I know gaba can be prescribed off label to treat anxiety. The saving grace currently is that I’m also prescribed Gabapentin 400mg x2 daily and 20mg propranolol as needed, both of which are helping a lot with the Wellbutrin anxiety. I will update this post after a couple of weeks once WB has had a chance to start really working. So I went to drugs.com reading reviews for anxiolytics and stumbled on gabapentin, which had pages and pages of people saying it works incredibly. I got a prescription for it and haven't had any anxiety at all since taking the first pill. None. Anyone been on gabapentin for a while for a while, (1+ year plus), and after a while, it starts making you feel worse not better, causing worsening anxiety and depression? I was prescribed it for anxiety initially, and it really worked for the first year tbh. We would like to show you a description here but the site won’t allow us. I also have a lot of anxiety and my whole body tenses up, I try to mindfully relax my body but within a few minutes I tense up again. I cant stop thinking about how tired I will be because I cant sleep or i think about the death of my mother further making my anxiety worse. I've been reading about Gabapentin and I'm nervous about taking in. For Anxiety "I first started Gabapentin to address severe anxiety and depression as well as a drinking problem. At first, this drug was a miracle. For about a year and a half, I told everybody that this drug saved my life. I wasn't drinking, it had reduced depression, and almost no anxiety.
