"i am an alcoholic with severe anxiety and depression.  i am prescribed the max dose (1,200 mgs) 3x a day.  i find some relief, but not the same relief i am looking for when i take benzos like klonopin.  i really only notice the effects of gabapentin when i am not taking it, because i am a nervous wreck.  during the &quot;experience&quot; i might just be numbed to knowing how i feel, and i think this is the point of the medication."
