"i wasn&#039;t sure about how anxious i was on a daily basis. i tried to self medicate with nicotine and caffeine but the caffeine just added to my anxiety..i was put on 100mg twice a day as needed. i like this med. my anxiety has decreased by at least 30 to 40%. just after my first dose. i am going to take gabapentin every 8 hours from now on. that should cover me during the day at evening. that leaves me with 8 hours of sleep in which i don&#039;t need the medication. my doc said i can take up to 200mg at a time but i am not sure if i am going to do that. i don&#039;t wanna be on such a high dose. things are slightly better than they were before i took the pill and for now, it&#039;s all i need."
