"i started taking gabapentin three months ago for bulging disc and nerve pain. i&#039;m currently on 300mg a day. this dosage helps about 90% of the time for pain. but i&#039;ve always suffered from social anxiety. i noticed after taking gabapentin for maybe a month or so that my crazy, continuous worries were going away. now three months in, i feel so bubbly and chatty, and not afraid to talk to people, and i&#039;m not afraid to take part in social activities that used to terrify me. i was reading about gabapentin online, and when i found out that it&#039;s sometime prescribed for anxiety, it hit me: wow. since i&#039;ve been taking this, i&#039;ve been feeling so much better. this drug is amazing. i feel like now i&#039;m the person i was always supposed to be."
