"i am 43. i started taking gabapentin for neuropathy in my feet, 500mg a day. it really took the tingly pain away. when i was diagnosed with prostate cancer last year, i stopped it, since i was on so many painkillers i didn&#039;t think i needed it. then i began to experience severe anxiety and hopelessness, racing negative thoughts, i didn&#039;t know what to do. i had heard that gabapentin helped with anxiety, so i went back on it, and it is incredible! at 600mg a day, i feel calm, chatty, and able to live in the moment. i&#039;m a little clumsy, but i am so grateful that gabapentin has this mood stabilizing effect on me, and it worked the first day back on it. now i can just live my life without anxiety, and i can take less narcotics now too, yet feel even better!"
