▲ 8 r/gabapentin
New to Gaba
My psychiatrist prescribed me Gabapentin yesterday, I took my first dose last night. I’m on 300mg 3x daily for anxiety + alcohol use disorder. But now I’m reading how awful coming off of it is and I’m kinda confused why she prescribed it rather than a typical anxiety medication. (I’ve tried Hydroxyzine it does nothing for me and Trazodone for sleep gives me restless legs).
How many days would y’all recommend trying it before asking for something else if I don’t see the benefits? I don’t wanna mess with this drug long term if it’s gonna do more harm than good
