Hi, is anyone taking gabapentin for anxiety. My pdoc recently changed klonopin for gabapentin. It's only been a few days and today I had anxiety to go to the gym. I took one and didn't end up going, instead I opted for a p90x (home video) workout. Which took me three hours and another gabapentin to work out. I just finished the work don't feel any anxiety for now. However I was anxious to start a home workout. I did realize I'm out of shape. I just to get a good workout and now I barley can keep up and had to take few breaks.
Anyway are you on gabapentin, what's your experience and do you think it works for anxiety?

I take 400mg three times a day. It helps, but lately I've been adding Vistaril for more of it.

Glad to hear you're working out.

I was taking 900 mg of neurontin PRN for anxiety. It's weird because the first time I took it, it worked great-helped the anxiety and made me tired so I could take a nap. The second time, it did nothing except for jacking my appetite up to the sky.

Been on it for bit now. I do notice a certain pleasantness when I take 300mg. I don't feel as irritable. Going to see if doc would up my earlier dosage.
