"It has helped a lot, but then the headaches came. I stopped it a few weeks ago, and the headaches got worse, and now the dizziness. I'm not going to take the Neurontin again for awhile (even though we (me & docs) all agree that its not the cause) because I don't want to mask any symptoms - if it is indeed something more serious."

Just another one of my many opinions:
The neurotin sedated you enough that it gave a sense of well-being, yet it did not go to the source of the anxiety. Long standing anxiety will cause stress on your body, stress = headache. Psychotherapy may help with the anxiety and cognitive therapy rarely does harm.
You don't want to mask the symptoms in case it is something worse? Have you discussed this concern with your doctor? What could be worse? A fatal disorder? Do you not trust your doctor's judgement? If not a strongly suggest finding a doctor you can have faith in and doing some soul searching as to why you don't trust your doctor.
