In reply to gabapentin for anxiety -- as of 2014?, posted by Snell on March 29, 2014, at 17:32:49
Gabapentin and its cousin Lyrica are almost as effective for anxiety as benzodiazepines.
I have a personal issue with Lyrica and I no longer take 300mg. x 2/day, but when I did-- it was better than clonazepam EVER was for relieving my symptoms-- especially social anxiety.
I am now prescribed a low dose of gabapentin, a measly 1,200mg./day, out of a good faith from my trusted PDOC.
I would also venture to say that it is the MOST EFFECTIVE mood stabilizer for my BP2.
