Is gabapentin a good option for treating anxiety disorders? This is what research says and why caution is important. This review will focus on the comparative properties of gabapentin and pregabalin, specifically the available evidence on their use in the treatment of primary anxiety disorders — GAD, social anxiety disorder, panic disorder, and obsessive-compulsive disorder. Welcome back to our current theme of anxiety disorders. We are continuing our conversation on the medications used in the treatment of anxiety disorders and other conditions.
