Gabapentin: Is ususually not a treatment for depression and if used is usually added on medication. As far the dose it depends on the severity of u symptoms and u physician can advise u about it.

None : This medication is not for major depression or anxietty last time i read fda regs. I have little success with this medication for depression or anxiety and do not consider it as a first line choice. (some doctors consider it in light of neuropathies or mood swings- not me).
