Gabapentin Anxiety

Does it mean GABAPENTIN is helping my anxiety or?
thank you.. i have been on GABAPENTIN for 15 days..900mg a day.. at first i felt great! then i kinda got used to it.. then the past 3 days i been dizzy on and off.. could be a side effect ..what do you think.. ive tryed other medications to don’t help.. any advice or story’s please feel free..
best regards
The dizziness is definitely a side effect of some sort. Whether it is helping your anxiety is something you subjectively have to discern. Do you feel less anxious? Then, yes, it is helping. Gabapentin has a very short half-life, and thus requires constant redosing to maintain a constant level in your blood stream.
Dizziness is a common side effect of Gabapentin — and you could actually be allergic to the medication. Sometimes the reaction is delayed.
I would certainly consult with your doctor who prescribed the medication as soon as possible about your side effects and see what he/she suggests. They might change the dosage, schedule, or medication all together.
