"i went through a benzodiazepine withdrawal back in 2013 and found that a low dose 200 mg of gabapebtin helped me back then. i was on benozos 30 years and no longer use them for 4 years straight now. i went off all drugs on principal four years ago but after four years and major anxiety and depression i decided to use gabapentin starting two weeks ago. it was not a easy choice as i realized that once on the drug gabapentin i would most likely use it for many years as it is not so easy to get off of it and would need tapering. this drug has been amazing and i have not felt this good in years. i will continue to use it and may increase the dose from 600 mg a day to 900 mg a day. it has been alive saver. i highly recommend this drug for anxiety"
