Gabapentin has an average rating of 7.9 out of 10 from a total of 493 reviews for the off-label treatment of anxiety. 74% of reviewers reported a positive experience, while 15% reported a negative experience. I take gabapentin for anxiety and it barely helps me. I take 900mg/day but apparently the highest dose is in the thousands. I just started depakote so I don't wanna increase gabapentin until my mood stabilizes. Gabapentin reduced my anxiety tremendously. And I had it bad. But it all comes down to biochemistry and what it is what is causing the anxiety. I think a mistake people make is that if it doesn’t help at a low dose they raise the dose super high which can cause lots of side effects and make getting off hard. It seems the people it helps the most will feel at least some relief even at a low dose. So I went to drugs.com reading reviews for anxiolytics and stumbled on gabapentin, which had pages and pages of people saying it works incredibly. I got a prescription for it and haven't had any anxiety at all since taking the first pill. None. I found out I had ADHD a year after I'd been taking Gabapentin and found out it's used to treat anxiety too. I am currently not medicated but looking to start and see how it will help with my ADHD (My diagnosis is very recent).

I've been prescribed gabapentin for anxiety 100mg x 3 per day. I took it for a week and didn't even notice any slight difference. I know it's a low dose but not sure if I need to try higher doses without seeing any effect. Does gabapentin supposed to work immediately for anxiety or need to build up like for neuropathic pain?

Are there specific anxiety disorders that gabapentin is effective for? Studies and patient stories show gabapentin helps with GAD, social anxiety, and panic disorder. Gabapentin can play a significant role in alleviating anxiety symptoms for many patients, making it an intriguing option when looking at treatments. It works by affecting certain neurotransmitters in the brain, promoting a calming effect that can help mitigate feelings of anxiety. Have any of you taken gabapentin off-label for anxiety? How was your experience? I’m just curious what others experiences’ with gabapentin have been. Some say that it works great, and that it works better than SSRI’s for mood/anxiety. Many claim it gives them energy and is stimulating and helps them focus. Many say it helps sleep. While gabapentin is increasingly being used to treat generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), little is known about its effectiveness on GAD symptoms. The patient presented here has a relatively straightforward psychiatric history, with GAD playing a prominent role. Those who take gabapentin for anxiety/depression, how would you describe how you feel on it? I take gabapentin currently, and I genuinely think it saved my life. It was a game changer for my panic attacks while waiting to find the right dose & type of anti-anxiety and depression meds, and I still use it to boost me up when I’m doing something specifically anxiety inducing. I'm on 600 mg nowr/Anxiety Current search is within r/Anxiety Remove r/Anxiety filter and expand search to all of Reddit I told him my anxiety is worse lately from my job and I wanted him to increase my Ativan. He doesn’t want to increase my Ativan so he prescribed me 100mg of gabapentin 2X a day. I’ve struggled with anxiety for over 7 years. Tried many SSRI’s and SNRI’s and buspar. Minimal help. Supplemented with klonopin (posted this recently as a topic). I just started using 300 mg gabapentin (100 mg in morning and 200 mg) in evening). Seems to be helping. Anyone else using it? Although evidence is limited, some studies show gabapentin can help with anxiety symptoms. One 2020 review suggests gabapentin may help with different types of situational anxiety, I was reading up on gabapentin for anxiety and saw multiple things stating it will “take weeks to see the full effects” of the med — but why is this? I would think a gaba modulator would work immediately. While it's true that GABA plays a role in anxiety, anxiety is complex, and researchers are still trying to figure out how and if gabapentin might work to ease symptoms of moderate or severe anxiety.
