"i have had general anxiety most of my life, and occasional panic attacks. about a month ago, some personal issues tossed me into a week-long panic attack, i fell into a deep depression that made me have horrible physical pain.

i started neurontin 4 days ago and hours later, i was able to get up and move around, the panic attack stopped and i could feel it lifting.  i&#039;m still &quot;down&#039; but i have things to be genuinely sad about.  today i am starting trazodone to help with sleep,  i don&quot;t get drowsy on neurontin.  but for me, it worked immediately for the massive anxiety with no side effects except a foggy feeling which i no longer have with doses. the myalgia and pain from the depression is also nearly gone. i&#039;m thrilled."
