In reply to Anticonvulsants for Anxiety: which are best?, posted by Stan on April 7, 2003, at 0:40:59
I really found Neurontin to be helpful and I want to talk to my doc about taking it again. He says he would like to avoid it because of how it affects gaba molecules or something like that. Not sure what he means. He does say its very safe.
I would say Topamax--No. It made me feel like crying all the time and lethargic. But that's just me.
I would like to hear if Gabatril does much for people (anxiety).
I take both Lamictal and Keppra. Lamictal so far has been antidepressant at 300mg per day (I'm not sure if it's good for anxiety). Keppra I'm not sure about it...I'm still deciding if it is good for me. Keppra definitely can calm people down and make you a weepy like Topamax...but not as bad as Topamax... By the way, I don't take Keppra for anxiety...its for mood stabilizer.
Just my opinion!
