"i have had gad ever since i can remember and i am 31 now. nothing and i mean nothing helped. my anxiety was so extreme, every minute of every day i was consumed with it. i had severe panic attacks and would sometimes faint. gabapentin has been life changing for me. i have been on it for 3 months and my gad is almost gone. i still have panic attacks at night, but this medication has been a miracle for me and i am and would definitely recommend trying it, specially if you are not responsive to &#039;normal&#039; anxiety medications."
