"almost no negative side effects, aside from strange and vivid dreams; although i enjoy them and they aren&#039;t nightmares. gabapentin helps me stay at ease when i&#039;m alone. my anxiety used to be bad, even when i was just sitting there but with this, it&#039;s gone. i take two 300mg pills each day. however, i still feel anxiety in social settings such as school but it makes life a lot easier, even though its not a 100% fix."
