Has gabapentin helped you with ruminating thoughts and severe anxiety? Has it helped anyone with pure ocd?

Doctor prescribed me 300 mg gabapentin 1-3 daily to take for ruminating and ocd, anxiety, and depression.

Hi .... I was given this for my neck tension and aching limbs. It certainly did the job. However I found I brilliant for anxiety and hot flushes that I get. I only took one a day but was prescribed 3 a day. I take it early evening ...does the trick. However, I haven't been to kind to myself lately. I use to enjoy a glass of wine every other evening ... so didn't want to take the med. so I missed doses ... very silly really ! I don't want your fall back like I was 10 weeks ago ... so I'm done with wine and I'm trying to start looking after myself ... which includes taking my meds at the same table me everyday. It's a must to keep myself on track.

You will be fine with this med it's brilliant fir anxiety. Give it a go. x good luck

I take this for pain and it is true godsend. I can't say that it has helped with my OCD intrusive thoughts or my anxiety. I'm on 1200mg daily.

I can't say for gabapentin, but I am taking pharma GABA and it's been working. I definitely feel mellow after taking it. I am still anxious, but it lessens, and fast.
