Gabapentin

Posted , 7 users are following.

Is a drug that is helping me tremendously with anxiety.

I have SEVERE anxiety.

I had to just stop my antidepressent abruptly due to bad side effects (serotonin toxcitiy)...and I also stopped the Gabapentin.

My Dr. told me it was safe to restart the Gabapentin which is for Fibromyalgia...but I noticed within an  hour after taking it my anxiety level reduced TREMENDOUSLY.
