I would cast another vote for considering gabapentin

I have been on wellbutrin for 3 months with no change. The only thing that helps somewhat is zanax .5mg 2 times a dday - just enough to take the edge off the physical symptoms but they are still there. My MD has added effexor (as of yesterday) and so far I've had no adverse reactions. I would appreciate any feedback on this question thank you diana
