Off-label gabapentin is sometimes used for treating anxiety, even though it is mainly used to treat seizures and nerve pain. Its effectiveness varies, although there are those who have completed that it worked for them. Unlike conventional anti-anxiety medications, gabapentin has a different mechanism of action; it mostly interacts with GABA neurotransmitters in the brain causing calming effects among users. However, research on this is still insufficient and the results are conspicuously divergent. Hence, it is important to consult a doctor about the suitability of gabapentin as well as closely observe any possible side effects that may arise.
