I'm tired of feeling anxious. My windshield wipers broke during a massive downpour and I could not see to drive. I had to blindly pull over. My wipers were trying to fall over/under each other and that meant I couldn't see. I finally waited long enough for it to stop raining, wiped the windshield off with my sweatshirt and drove home. My mom's husband figured out what is wrong with it. The arm broke on the driver's side.
I just keep feeling waves of anxiety. This is just one example. The thing is, the pangs of anxiety happen between episodes.

What is gabapentin?
I'd hate for it to be the Rexulti. I like it a lot.

Gabapentin can be used for anxiety. Or hydroxyzine. It's like benadryl. But can be used for anxiety. I hope something helps...

I'm just afraid to ask my Pdoc or her nurse for something because I know they'll think I'm looking for benzos

Just say you've heard gabapentin (Neurontin) is helpful for anxiety and could you try it. It's not a benzo and it works really well. If I get past my depression I can even start weaning off klonopin because gabapentin is more effective and not addictive and I prefer how it makes me feel. (and I've been on benzos for 16 years)

I've heard gabapentin works really well. Personally and again this is just me I don't care for the benzos but everyone has their modicum that works best. I just don't use them because I was addicted to them. Have you tried Wellbutrin? I personally haven't but I have friends who take it and it works really well. Hope you start feeling better!

That's something I would communicate with him or her and see how it works. I'm newly diagnosed bipolar 2 after 8 years of misdiagnosis but some "doctor". And my advice would be, be straight up and honest, don't hide anything side effects or emotions. The one thing I took away from my new diagnosis that honestly in a strange way is a relief is that, the doctors can only work with what their given I use to not say a damn word and look what that got me? Be strong you'll make it through this!

An aside - that happened to me once with my wipers and it was very scary. I'm glad you're safe. |

![]() On another note, I got a CD I ordered today. It's my favorite performance of my favorite piece. I'd only heard it on YouTube before - through my phone no less! Through my CD player is much better.

For this recording, look up "Patrick Husson" and "Miserere". It should come up on YouTube. The top soloist is a grown man!
