I have been taking Tranxene for my anxiety but feel i have grown tolerant to it because it dont really work for me anymore and ive been on most of the other benzos and antidepressants. Has anyone had any success using Neurontin for anxiety, if so, what dosage are you on and can you grow tolerant to it?

I'm taking only 100mg per my pdoc before bedtime, about 11:00pm and taking 150mg of the new Wellbutrin XL in the morning. My follow up appointment is 9/30 which will be four weeks since I started the Neurontin and I will let you know. I do feel less anxiety and had started Wellbutrin SR 150mg a couple of weeks before starting the Neurontin.

I've just started Neurontin again. I have an on and off relationship with it. I originally took it for fibromyalgia pain, which it didn't help, but I did notice that I felt a nice mellow spaciness on it which was helpful for days when I just wanted to rest and heal. I take 3 at a time, and sometimes combine it with a benzo because I have such a difficult time unwinding when I'm anxious. Unfortunately, I found that after a short time I built up tolerance to it, but taking a break from it and then starting again overcomes this.
Let's keep in touch with our experiences. I'm Bipolar-I mixed states and am on lithium and lamictal, but things can still get difficult at times due to residual anxiety. I would so love to find something that will soothe that gnawing dread. - BarbaraCat
