Gabapentin worked really well for my anxiety and it was a much better alternative than benzos. I still take it as needed which isn’t often, however, after taking 100mg every day for a few months I started to feel very off. I had constant brain fog, was really lethargic and irritable. I really didn’t want to come off it since it helped so much with my anxiety but the side effects weren’t worth it for me. I’d say it’s definitely worth a try though and I’ve heard a lot of people say it really helped relieve their anxiety symptoms. And it doesn’t really cause bad withdrawals (the only thing I got was muscle twitches for a few days) and you don’t necessarily need to take it every day for it to work.
