Gabapentin is primarily prescribed for nerve pain and certain seizure disorders, and while some studies suggest it may help alleviate anxiety symptoms, it is not officially approved for this use. Its effectiveness for anxiety can vary among individuals, and it may have side effects. It's essential to consult a healthcare professional for appropriate treatment options tailored to anxiety.

Is gabapentin used to treat anxiety?

No. Neurontin was developed as an anti-epileptic but is also used to treat neuropathic pain. Testing is currently underway to see if it can be effectively used to treat anxiety and bipolar disorders. Addendum to above answer by a different contributor: I am taking neurontin to quell anxiety created by benzodiazepine withdrawal. It is working wonders. Prior to taking the neurontin, I couldn't even leave the house, due to constant anxiety and panic attacks. Now, I take daily walks, do the shopping, take care of business. It is working wonders for me.
