I've waited two weeks for my gabapentin to come in the mail. I ran out today. I've decided to just quit taking it. It'll save me money on paying for yet another med.

I could see how dropping it wouldn't cause much issues. I question how much it really helps with anxiety. The only issue I really have if I quit taking it is sleeping. I normally only take 800mg before bed. Sometimes I'll take an additional 400mg during the day if I'm anxious.
Keep us posted and good luck. |

I take 400mg 3 times daily. It does help with the anxiety but not as much as an AP.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
