Gabapentin ( my psch,orders this for me ,and it seems to cover a very large range of things he said it might help with my anxiety I think not.a friend takes it for leg cramping not restless leg,I think he is avoiding xanx which that is what. I ve been taking for yrs,I m trying to go further in college and it makes it very difficult to do so with anxiety, depression,and chronic back pain should I really keep taking it?
