"gabapentin is the most liberating medicine i have ever used. i have tried effexor, prozac, paxil, zoloft, lamictal, lithium, phenibut, kava, theanine, -anything with implications of anxiolytic properties. finding the right dosage can be a little tricky, but when that is tuned, this medication seems superior to any anxiety medication available.  side effects of too much- dizziness, fatigue.
