Anxiety
"Gabapentin has really helped me with anxiety. I used to always be thinking of what I had to do while I was busy with something else.  For example, I would worry about what I had to do after work while I was at work.  I would play future scenarios over and over before they even occurred. I would play past experiences over and over.  Some call this rumination.  Much of this has either dropped down to a manageable level or just disappeared with gabapentin. I have never been one much into pharmaceuticals but this one works for me.  I can see that some people love how it works for them, some people despise of it, and others say it doesn&#039;t do a thing for them. We are all different and what works for one doesn&#039;t work for another, just like diet.
I&#039;m much happier going out and doing ordinary things like shopping, going to the bank, and other ordinary routine tasks.  I easily get bored with ordinary tasks and just want to get them done.  I just wanted to get things over with so that I could take on the next task. Now, I can be more with what I am doing without having to rush through it to get to the next goal. I take my time and stop to talk with people.  It&#039;s ok if I&#039;m late for the next task so long as it&#039;s not an appointment where others are involved.  The main thing for me is to enjoy people when I go out to a store, or the bank, or wherever!  The gabapentin helps a part of my brain slow down so that I can &quot;see&quot; the people in my day.  
It really feels good to go to the gym and not feel tied to a specific exercise routine anymore. I like going in with a goal in mind, but allow for what the body is telling me.  Instead of just checking in at the desk, I&#039;m more likely to spend time saying hello and having patience. So what if it means that I will get home 5 minutes later and eat dinner 5 minutes later, and then get 5 minutes less sleep. Big deal!  I see from writing this that gabapentin helps me to be less obsessive
With gabapentin, it is much easier for me to accept doing a job I am tired of. I&#039;ve been at the same job for a long job and was getting antsy to move on. There isn&#039;t anything bad about the job, but doing anything &quot;forever&quot; gets kind of old. Now, I know that soon I will be making a change, but can be&quot;more&quot; patient until the change happens. If I were completely patient, then the change would never happen. There is still fire to make the change happen. I feel less anxiety about change and welcome it more now. There are times in life when change is good.  I don&#039;t feel as dead in my tracks with fearing change. It&#039;s  o.k. if I don&#039;t figure out &quot;everything&quot; today because there is always tomorrow! 
Yes, I am very satisfied with how gabapentin works.  I give it a 10 out of 10."
