Gabapentin works great for anxiety initially, it's a good anxiolytic that distracts you from your other symptoms. However, I noticed it had some pretty bad side effects. It tends to disinhibit thought, meaning that random, useless thoughts can start racing through your head (although it probably won't bother you at first). Welcome to /r/gabapentin, here we primarily discuss issues pertaining to the medical, prescribed use of Gabapentin, Lyrica and Phenibut, as well as other Gaba related drugs. This IS NOT the subreddit for discussion of how to get high or otherwise abuse GP. Gabapentin is actually primarily used as an anticonvulsant, for nerve pain caused by shingles, and for restless leg syndrome. Off-label it is used for anxiety comorbid to bipolar disorder, generalized anxiety, bipolar, insomnia, substance abuse disorders, and a handful of other things depending on where you look. Gabapentin is an anticonvulsant that is eliminated by the kidneys and is not protein bound. 8 By virtue of these properties as well as lack of hepatic enzyme induction, gabapentin has little potential for drug interactions with psychotropic medications, 8 which is of great importance in treating a complicated psychiatric disorder such as PTSD. This retrospective study suggests that gabapentin may improve in particular sleep difficulties and also other symptoms associated with chronic PTSD. Prospective, controlled studies are needed to further investigate the effects of gabapentin on insomnia, nightmares, and other core PTSD symptoms. Gabapentin nearly killed me too. One minute I was trying to do my homework, then something came over me and before I even realised what I was doing I was in the middle of a an Attempt. I like Gabapentin; I’ve taken it for a couple years, but it can have mild side effects especially while you’re getting used to it. It makes some people drowsy and others feel overly energetic.

Please be careful if your doctor wants to put you on antipsychotics for complex ptsd. I have been on them for 8 years.

Neurontin is a really interesting medication. I’m prescribed it for two reasons, PTSD and nerve pain - it works wonders for the latter on its own, but certainly needs a boost from a good antidepressant for the former. I've been reading medical papers about gabapentin's efficacy on panic disorder and PTSD.
