"i have pretty severe ptsd with some generalized free-floating anxiety.  when the klonopin just wasn&#039;t cutting it anymore, and i&#039;d tried so many other drugs (atarax, remeron, buspar....) with no relief, i finally convinced my doctor to let me give gabapentin a try.  i also have chronic pain symptoms, so i thought that there was a chance it would help with that (it only helped a little), but literally, with my first dose i felt like a ton of weight had been lifted from my shoulders.  i was happy and not anxious.  unfortunately, it petered out on me over a few months.  i taper off and after a few months get back on.  still works!"
