[brodytexas]

Gabapentin came out of left field in helping me for anxiety, Now after 9 months I am tapering down,So members must have had some good results with other medications (not referring)Just what helped them over the hump.

Hi brodytexas, I know you would like to cut to the chase and find a medication that would

work for you as well as another person. Unfortunately, too many things need to be

considered before changing a medication. One of them is other health issues and

medications you may be on as well as age. Our age plays a big part as to how we will

interact with a certain drug. Once a drug is ordered by your doctor and it seems to

fit the bill for you, then it's about regulating the dosage as well as the time of day you

take it So you see brody, it's not an easy fix in finding the right medicatiion.

Your best bet is to have a talk with your physician who knows your health history

and can advise you in what's out there. I wish you well. xx

I know in a way what you are saying. But when you consider barely able to walk when I was walking 1-2 miles a day, Having a sharp memory and forgetting after a few months words and names that should be remembered. I have glaucoma in one eye which puts me in a no no for most anxiety meds until I get it fixed, So I am looking at natural med for anxiety since I am down to 100mg of gabapentin. Any word on what to look at would be appreciated A friend said he and his wife take CBD so the search goes on, tks BrodyTexas

I just did a deep dive into CBD products. No they won't be as good as gabapentin. For joint issues, I use topical CBD. CBD helps quite a bit. The real natural remedy is L theanine. Helps day and night with focus. Huge add to my tool kit. You could talk with your doctor in potentially starting a benzodiazepine if your eye clears up for the short term while they may put you on something that takes a little more time to work. Agora is right though, our chemistries are all different. CBD with a micro dose of THC can be found in nearly all states. It is kind of LDN in that regard if you have ever heard of LDN. If not, take a look at LDN for pain too.
