"i am rxed this 6/day for neuropathy but on the side for anxiety too. in my opinion, if you have panic attacks, just stick to a benzodiazepine as if you&#039;re not taking long term, it&#039;s not bad. if you find gabapentin to work, then take that but usually gabapentin is given as a regimen for generalized anxiety. i&#039;ve never had luck with gabapentin but i would prefer someone take that for chronic anxiety than a benzo. however, don&#039;t let the med fool you... it can be a nightmare to get off of this med. sometimes just as hard as benzo&#039;s. if you take this daily to prevent panic attacks but don&#039;t have panic attacks daily, i advise against this med. it&#039;s easy to build a tolerance too and constantly have to raise the dose. not too effective."
