I have had really insane anxiety. Sometimes it's situations, sometimes it's just hormones.

Gabapentin makes me dizzy. The first pill I took yesterday felt great. I know it's supposed to take awhile for it to kick in but I feel like it hit me fast and I was chill. Very nice after a really tough past 3 weeks. Took a other one last night before bed. Woke up dizzy and not able to focus very well. Took another at around noon. A little late. I'm supposed to take them 3x a day. Dr suggested take one in the afternoon to see how it affects me. That's what I did yesterday.

Also hadn't had a period in 3 months and then I started on Friday. My anxiety decreased immensely after I started bleeding. One reason why I don't mind my period. It makes my brain normal for a few days.

This is insane and so difficult to manage. The last thing I want is to become dependent on meds. The weaning off process is usually awful. The thought of a lifetime on meds isn't awesome. Living with anxiety as high as it's been isn't acceptable either.

My drive and ambition are currently on hiatus. I'm sure I'll get it back but it's making me lazy and complacent right now. As much as I care...I don't care.

Anyone have experience with Gabapentin? Does the dizziness go away or should I stop taking it? My neighbor drove me to Petsmart today bc I wasn't sure if I could drive. That's not gonna fly.

I don't want to be a complete bummer. I know this will pass and I'll have energy for life again. It seems to come in waves for me. I also push myself to get out of these funks. It just takes way more energy to get there now.

Hope you ladies are having a good day.
