There's another recent thread mentioning Lyrica (pregabalin) as a more effective alternative to Gabapentin for GABA-related anxiety. However, it does look as though it is more dose-sensitive and has more side-effects than GP.
I myself recently had some gabapentin from a friend and found it very helpful with anxiety and withdrawal effects from a muscle-relaxant (Robaxin), whereas diazepam was not helping much at all. Unfortunately, my GP was NOT pleased that I had self-medicated, and may be reluctant to prescribe any of these.
My Meds
-----------
Escitalopram 20 mg
Bupropion XR 75 mg
Diazepam 5 mg tid - weaning
Propranolol 20 mg tid
Robaxin - non-prescribed; weaning
Kava - non-Rx, prn
