Alcohol Withdrawal
"I have been on Gabapentin for 15 months.  My dose is two 600mg tablets a day for a total of 1200mg in a 24-hour period. I was prescribed Gabapentin for alcoholism first, anxiety second.  This medication is a God send.  After drinking 10-15 alcohol drinks a day for 40 years, within a week I quit and had no side effects from withdrawal - plus the anxiety went away. I do NOT crave alcohol at all.  It is so weird.  I thought it wouldn&#039;t work until I tried it - and it does work!  It was THAT quick.  I suggest everyone with an alcohol problem that wants to quit but is deathly afraid to do so, ask your doctor for gabapentin.  It is non-addictive like benzodiazepines (Valium, Xanax).  AA never worked for me.  Gabapentin, IMO replaces AA."
