Are you talking about gabapentin for anxiety? If so, I can't see how that would help anxiety. I have panic attacks so my Nurse Practicioner gives me Xanax to take as needed.

Do u mean gabapentin? If so gabapentin is an approved medication to treat fibromyalgia pain. It's doesn't help with anxiety. I was on it for over a year.
Cymbalta is another medication approved for fibro pain but Cymbalta also treats anxiety and depression. Hope this helps ๐Ÿ’œ
