gabapentin for panic disorder

Have you tried gabapentin for your epilepsy it's also works for anxiety. I currently take it for my anxiety and it works very well I take 300mgs 3-times a day. Maybe that will help. Good luck!!

I suffer from bi-polar disorder herniated disks and i take gabapentin, morphine for that and triliptal for bi-polar, which they dont seem to be working as well as they used to anymore so ive asked my pharmacist what she recommends and she recommended lyrica. As you know pharmacists know way more about drugs than doctors, but I am super excited to get started on my Lyrica tomorrow!

Hi, Thank you for your question. Most likely possibility in your case could be a panic or anxiety disorder that you have faced during last event and currently experiencing. Cause of such panic disorder mostly remain unknown but in this disorder you may feel symptoms like shortness of breath, feeling of choking, pain in the chest, nausea, stomach ache, feeling dizzy, tingling or numbness, chills or hot flashes, bounding heartbeat or fast heart rate, sweating, shaking etc.

Thank you guys for your input. I left this out, but I'm on Lamictal & Lithium for BP & Clonazepam & Buspirone for panic & anxiety disorder. The combo of these drugs with Gabapentin (Neurontin) is what really screwed me up more than I already am. The Gabapentin really knocked me for a loop. It gave me the shakes, made me dizzy & really screwed with my cognitive skills. I think this is why my shrink wants to keep me away from this class of drugs.

You could also look into Gabapentin. Gabapentin works well for me for my panic disorder. I wish you well.

Has anyone ever been put on gabapentin for severe anxiety/panic disorder? My doctor just prescribed it for me to help ween me off xanax that I've been on for 7 years. Was wondering if this has ever helped anyone?

t know, but gabapentin is a kind of whole new GABA system and benzos act on the GABA system you already have. The only approved use for the gabapentin is for a couple types of nerve pain, but it is used for anxiety off label. It would be possible that adding that would have allowed you to stop the benzo possibly, though that would still mean going through the whole problem with stopping benzos. Again, I wish I had been kept using benzos as needed.

I have heard many a bad thing about prozac, anyone out there take prozac who suffers from panic disorder and depression?

will a total hysterectomy cure my panic disorder.

My mother has been suffering from a panic disorder for the past 5 months, primarily experiencing the panic at night. She describes the feeling as a pit in her stomach and fear, but she can not really say what she fears. She just says " I am fearful." She has seen a psychiatrist who gave her zoloft first, but it did not work. Then they gave her xanax, but again this did not work. Then they told her to take more xanax and Klonopin, but she continues to experience the panic.

Thanks a lot yes I took benzo for 1yr continously for a yr and so .yes I was going through depression for long.I read a lot of articles about benzos and ssri's and after doing so im even more depressed .I dont know wether im clear of seizure risk but the thing im most worried about is the panic attacks they are too brutal to handle.I really feel now that being physically handicapped is not as worse as people suffering from panic attacks atleast they can go freely witout fear .

Does anyone know how to heal anxiety/ panic disorder without medication? I'm on mirtazapine and xanax as needed. I hate it. Tired of feeling like a zombie.

im 22 i was diagnosed of having Panic disorder for almost 2 years ago..Im always feel nervous and the fear never left me..I feel that im going crazy..i feel that i not normal anymore...does somebody out there feel the same? please help me..i feel so hopeless..

I've had what is presumable panic disorder for the past two years now, and today seems to be particularly bad. Earlier, I started to feel tingly all over, and when I noticed it, I went into a short panic attack (chest discomfort, extreme fear, urge to leave the place, etc). Now the tingling sensation won't go away, and I feel somewhat dizzy. My heartrate is fine, there are no mental changes in the slightest, and my legs feel slightly weak still, like I was just scared quite badly.

I was diagnosed with Panic Disorder about a little over and a year and a half ago....I feel awful every day here are some symptoms. 1. Random Panic Attacks~~ Mostly when I'm alone. i think i know why this is ..when i was 14 a man in an apartment complex near where i lived died in his apartment and no one knew unitl the smell started bother other people in the complex...it never bugged me until I was 18..when i had my first attack.

I saw a therapist a couple years ago and she diagnosed me with anxiety, panic disorder and post traumatic stress disorder but didn't put me on any meds. I was able to deal with it for the first year but it seems to be getting worse now!! What do I do?

I was just wondering if what I have is a symptom of panic disorder, which I have. It feels like there's a heat rush going to my head and it feels tingly. Is this common? Thanks.

Since that trip to the hospital I live in constant fear and have panic attacks about once every other day, and have trouble breathing usually accompanied with chills. Do you think I might have a panic disorder, or even OCD. Any help is good help.

You've asked the perfect questions about Celexa. It was prescribed to me months ago but haven't taken it yet. Afraid to. It was also given to me for panic attacks. I hear mixed messages about it, but everybody that I've heard stuff from was using it for depression. I'm wondering if it has the same effect on people taking it for depression as it does on people taking it for anxiety/panic. I'll keep checking this post and please let me know if you do take it and how you feel.

Fortunately for me, I was a dependent rather than an addict on the substance use disorder scale. Addicts struggle with cravings after detox, dependents don't. My question, does gabapentin slow down the process of healing the brain's chemistry? Does it interfere with the brain re-establishing it's normal chemical balances? I started, during detox, with 900mg/d for 3 days, then dropped it to 600mg/d for 3 more days. Now I'm down to 100mg/d at night.

Hey there I have panic disorder and my eyes feel really tired sometimes. I'm not really tired but my eyes are just droopy. Is this a symptom or what?

When I stopped the medication, I started with serious problems (a lot of crying, anxiety, panic attack and sleep problems). I did not sleep for 3 days, then I slept like for three days. I do not feel tired anymore, I do not get that sleepy tired feeling. I have tried many meds to help me to sleep (trazodone, klonopin, Geodon..) nothing help. Now I am sleeping 2-3 hours a night with the help of gabapentin, but I do not feel tired, I DO NOT GET SLEEPY.

They gave me Gabapentin for nerve pain I began crying having suicidal thoughts just after one week on them. Coffee seems to have done a number on you. I have everything u have but not bipolar. I don't like the avatan as much as clonazepam it's very mild once in body I take venlafaxine 75 mg a day. Be careful with gabapentin though it's used off label for bipolar & nerve pain it's for epilepsy.
