I was prescribed gabapentin 300mg, 3 times daily for my anxiety. That was a while ago, and I didn't really give it a shot (tried it for a couple of days, but then felt it was causing me to have stress and/or agitation). I stopped mainly because I wasn't sure if it was the new SSRI I was on, or the gabapentin causing the agitation, and as I'm sure we can all agree, it's hard to figure out which drug is doing what when starting two new drugs at the same time (two variables).

I have been taking it for the past few nights for sleep, as on the beginning of taking it years ago for nerve damage, it put me right to bed. But, I don't know how I will feel taking it during the day, and plan on trying it out.

Before I do, though, I was hoping to ask a couple of questions as well as hear anyone's experiences with the drug. Thankfully, I have been on Prozac 10mg for about 2 months now, and Klonopin 0.5 mg 3x daily for longer than I'd like, so no other new medicines or variables are in the mix. That's why I figured I'd finally give it a shot.

Questions are:

I have read several posts on here in regards to gabapentin and anxiety. They pretty much all say they were prescribed 100mg 2-3 times per day. Why would I be prescribed 300mg?

How long has it taken you all to start seeing the anxiety relieving effects of gabapentin?

Have any of you taken it with Klonopin, and if so, has it helped anyone come off of it? That's my primary goal.

Thanks!
