"i love my gabapentin i currently take 800mgs 4 daily i&#039;ve been taking them for around 4 years... my whole family suffers from anxiety and my mother was the first to take it who recommended me to tell my doc because antidepressant just didn&#039;t work for me. so i asked and i&#039;m glad i did.. i watched my whole family also abuse xanax and i refused to go down that road. so i&#039;m perfectly happy with it"
