So, I've had GAD and OCD since age 19. I went through having full blown agoraphobia for about a year and a half at one point, but haven't been housebound since 2009. My anxiety was slowly getting a little worse about 2 months ago, and my doctor increased my Lexapro to 20mg and added 100mg of gabapentin. Within the past 2 weeks, my anxiety has gotten so out of control. I had a panic attack this morning that lasted almost 20 minutes, which isn't something I've had since I was 20. My obsessive thoughts are so much worse now, and I'm panicking almost every time I go out again. I refuse to not leave my house and get stuck the way I did before. I'm calling my doctor tomorrow to ask for a change to a new medication from Lexapro, but I also feel like the gabapentin is the cause behind these newly intense obsessive and compulsive thoughts. Has anyone dealt with any negative effects from gabapentin or gotten worse?
