"gabapentin has been a miracle drug for me! i first started it 3 years ago for restless leg syndrome (which felt like painful electric shocks deep inside my legs.) it worked perfectly. i took 300 mg an hour before bed. about a year ago, i started having hot flashes (i&#039;m 52) instead of hrt, my doctor increased my dose to 600 mg a day, in divided doses, and my hot flashes are much better. then, 6 months ago, i became the target of a bully in the workplace and my anxiety soared! i found it nearly impossible to concentrate and it was increasingly difficult to function at all! after increasing my dose to 600 mg three times a day, i am able to breeze through my work day and i&#039;m no longer intimidated by the bully!
