"for the last 7 years i have had severe anxiety, panic attacks, and insomnia. i was given remeron for sleep and klonopin for anxiety. recently my pdoc and i decided it&#039;s time for me to get off the benzos. she gave me gabapentin and it&#039;s been a life saver. i&#039;m doing well at gradually tapering off klonopin. the only drawback i find is that gabapentin wears off rather fast, and your body builds up a tolerance really fast. been on it for 3 months now. i started at 100mg 3 times a day. within a month i was up to 300mg 3xdaily and 600mg at night. currently i am only taking it prn at 300mg. as someone who has tried every mood stabilizer and anxiety medication  under the sun. gabapentin is amazing!"
