"this was a miracle for me!  i was taking alprazolam 3-4 times a day for about 4 years. with the crackdown of controlled substances, my pcp decided to wean me off. i have terrible anxiety. ssri&#039;s do not work for me (too many side effects). after reading the reviews of gabapentin, i asked my pcp if we could try this. amazing!!! i no longer wake up shaky and anxious, i don&#039;t get that &quot;feeling&quot;  i used to get when the alprazolam wore off, and i sleep better than ever! i take 300 mg 3-4 times daily. this truly is a life saver for me!"
