"i have had periodic depression for years, and general anxiety problems as well, lately they had been getting worse.

i cannot tolerate the ssri anti-depressants, can&#039;t even tell any effect when i take buspar, was taking clonazepam when things got really bad.

i went back to see a dr. i have great respect for, had another qeeg, he said i have a &quot;fast brain&quot; (gross cns hyperarousal).

started me on 300 mg gabapentin at bedtime.  noticed a calming, mellowing effect the first day.

before i could not stop my mind from racing, from obsessing, and would get almost paralyzed to do anything.

i feel so much better, my mind is calm, depression is lifted, and no side effects other than a very, very slight fogginess.

so far, for me - amazing."
