Anxiety is a physical condition marked by intense and persistent feelings of distress, fear, angst or dread. General anxiety caused by routine day-to-day stresses usually passes quickly and is experienced by almost everyone at one time or another.

I started taking gabapentin (neurotoxin) for my anxiety. My doctor told me that it has not been approved by the fda for anxiety but my doctor said it is known to work for some with anxiety. It is used mostly for fibromyalgia and chronic pain. It is also used for bipolar disorder. It has been helping me. I feel like my mind has time to think before my body instantly goes into panic mode. I tend to get very indignant nd upset about injustices and react immediately with anger. It is a physical reaction that happens even before I think. However this medicine is helping me to not physically react to every thought. It does make me drowsy so I'm taking it at night and only in the day when I don't have to go anywhere. When I see my doctor I'm going to see if I can get a lower dose pill for daytime. My anxiety and stress has resulted in physical issues such as gastritis and acid reflux, so we needed to find something to calm my physical reactions without making me a zombie. I'm really glad I found this med. I still take 40 mgs of Prozac too. That is for COD although it's supposed to help with anxiety it just wasn't strong enough. I'm just putting this out there for anyone who might be helped by this med.
