Meds occasionally poop out - I don't know why, and what works for one person may or may not work for another. I started taking Neurontin several years ago (I take about 800 mg. a day) for anxiety when Xanax started pooping out on me. I take Neurontin now with one 15 mg. tablet of Tranxene, and 40 mg. of Strattera (for possible ADD, but just until my 30-day supply runs out), and that keeps my anxiety at a manageable level. However, I can't say that mix has eliminated social anxiety for me. If you know of something better, please share it with me.
I think some people take Neurontin at higher doses for other reasons than anxiety, and at those higher doses I understand there could be withdrawal symptoms, and possibly weight gain. I can't say since I've never taken it at those higher doses.
