Hi @shushan and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. I wanted you to be able to connect with people who are taking Gabapentin for anxiety so, you will see that I moved your post to a discussion where member are already discussing just that.

@shushan, with you being on the SSRI since November, it should be well into your system. Has your GP suggested a different SSRI like zoloft so that you can be on a higher dose or even a medication like buspar that you can take while on the lexapro to enhance the effects?

Hello - no, no discussion yet on switching. They have talked about increasing Gabapentin as it apparently is fairly effective with hot flashes/anxiety associated with menopause?
