I tried both Neurontin and Gabitril for anxiety. They both made me feel really detached, so they relieved anxiety in general. I like Gabitril better, hard to explain why. Gabitril is considered an anti-seizure med, but my doc uses it for lots of other stuff. I tried the 4mg and noticed an effect but 8mg really helped me stop having panic attacks and helped me feel like i can breath easier. I have been on Gabitril for 9 months and it hasn't faded. (i used them as add on meds to paxil and risperdal.)
For some people, including me, Neurontin can bind to the eye and cause blurry vision. If it does, it takes a month or two to go away after stopping the med.
