Consult prescriber: Gabapentin has limited general utility for anxiety but when it works for an individual it is welcome relief. Medication requires careful monitoring with your prescriber as any response may diminish over time. It is best to combine with therapy and daily living habits for nutrition, sleep, exercise, and overall wellness. Learn anxiety & stress reduction strategies & fill your life with positive.
