Gabapentin is basically used for neuropathic pains and seizure disorders. It has excellent roles in anxiety also. You are taking 900 mg per day and this is good dose if we consider anxiety treatment.

Recommended doses for anxiety are 100-300 mg three times a day (300-900 per day) during start of therapy and the doses can be increased to 900-1800 mg per day depending upon clinical condition.

The doses you are taking 300 mg three times a day are perfect and will control your anxiety.
