"i was prescribed gabapentin for anxiety/depression, after trying amitryptylline and citalopram, both of which did not work. my dose was 300mg gabapentin 3x a day, however, this dose was causing me to have really achey joints so i stopped taking the evening one and now have one when i get up, and one at lunchtime. i can really feel the effects of the morning one, as, an hour after taking it i feel a little light headed and drunk, but very focused and determined. i am also sleeping better as my head isn&#039;t full of worries when i go to sleep like it used to be. gabapentin does not make you feel sluggish and zombie-like like other meds, in fact i find them to be the opposite - i get loads done in a day which also helps me sleep."
