Not first choice but: Gabapentin has no cross-tolerance with benzodiazepines, so would probably not be first choice for xanax (alprazolam) withdrawal. However, there is at least one case report of using this for xanax (alprazolam) withdrawal -- successful results. As an anticonvulsant it might be effective when other options fail or are unwise.
