Gabapetin what are people's experiences?

[Doglover51]

My doc just added gabapentin to my medication. I currently take buspirone. But still get anxiety 2 to 3 times a week. What are people's experiences on gabapentin?

I took Gabapentin when I had lots of knee and hip problems. It helped me with the constant orthopedic pains and to sleep better at night. I can see how it could help with anxiety, and I had no problems with it.

I took it for about 3 months as needed and it didn’t seem to have an effect on me. I’ve been switched to Wellbutrin for a while now. I also used to take buspirone and it worked better than the gabapentin… Wellbutrin seems to be doing pretty well. I also take lexapro. I know mixing them will sometimes give you stomach problems as well.

I was prescribed gabapentin in the evening (for severe RA pain causing insomnia & anxiety). It made me me drowsy, took the “edge” off my anxiety; so I finally could sleep.

I tried it for a few months but did nothing for my anxiety, although I know it can work for some

Gabapentin made me really drowsy and out and drunken
