I forgot to mention that I was prescribed Gabapentin off-label for the anxiety. I take 300 mg twice a day, and 600 mg to help with sleep at night. This has taken the edge off a bit. It's not perfect, but I'll take any relief I can get right now.

Gabapentin has some pretty wicked side effects on its own. I discontinued using it for anxiety when I started getting tremors in my hands. I started on Guanfacine (for ADHD and Anxiety) which worked much better with little to no side effects for me. I hope you find peace and happiness.
