my doctor recently prescribed me with 600 mg of gabapentin (Neurontin) 3x a day for anxiety. It normally is used for seizure disorder but says it will help with my anxiety. Anyone else ever heard of this, or is taking it for that reason?? how is it working?

I was prescribed gabapentin for years. It really helped with the anxiety.

I've been prescribed Gabapentin, starting maybe about 2 months ago. At first, I was skeptical. It works great for anxiety. I still get anxious regularly, but it helps prevent the physical symptoms that come when I'm anxious, so I can let go of certain things easier than without the medication. I don't have to use Klonopin as much as I did prior to Gabapentin.

I'm currently on gabapentin for anxiety . Seems to be working ok for me. Psych prescribed it to help supplement my klonopin.

I take it for neuropathy, but it definitely reduces anxiety.

I take it for anxiety. It helps a little, I guess. Not as much as it used to.

It helped my anxiety at first but then it crapped out so I stopped. It's also commonly use as a stabilizer but my pdoc told me it's a rather weaker one. But everyone's different. I was on 800mg 3 x's a day.

I'm on 400mg 3 times a day. It helps with the anxiety but I still take Vistaril for when it gets really bad.
