Was Gabapentin for anxiety symptoms a game changer for you?
I started to have anxiety symptoms in the middle of September. My doctor put me on an anti depressant even though I wasn't depressed, to help with the anxiety. Six weeks later I was not really feeling any effects. That was six weeks curled up in a ball with nausea and whole body nerve stress. I found a therapist and a naturopath and all finally came to the realization it wasn't psychological, it was physiological. The day I started gabapentin at night for sleep was the day I felt better! It was like a switch. My nervous system calmed right down. I'm now weaning off the anti-depressant. I just wanted to share this in case anyone else was having similar symptoms.

And I still have fatigue, but I know how to deal with that. For me, it's all about pacing and radical self-care.
