Hi there! Has anyone had any luck with Gabapentin for anxiety, migraine, etc? If so, what dose?

My neurologist suggested I take it before bed to help with sleep which may help with my migraines and I’ve heard it can help with anxiety.

Thanks for your reply!

I had it to help me sleep and for my nerves. I took 3--300's before bedtime. Seemed to help awhile but stopped working after a couple of years.

Hello :-)I take it for pain which I suffer from

It takes the pain away and makes me drowsy for an hour or so but I cannot say it helps with my anxiety as when it wears of it is still there

I also get migraines and I have not found it helps them but for pain it has been good

We are all different and it is worth trying it as you might find it does help your anxiety and migraines :-)

You will have to let us know how you get on :-) x
