Yes, the Gabapentin will DEFINATELY HELP, and I find them more recreational than benzo's...benzo's are good for my nerves but really wouldn't all them recreational but Gabapentin is wierd, helps my nerves but makes me feel like I'm on an upper, then I could be tired the next minute, makes me talk and talk, but it doesn't make you anxious, it calms ya down. People react differently to it though, some say it doesn't do anything, then the other people who love it. Would start off with a 1200 mg of Gaba, space the doses out in 45 minute intervals because it raisises the bioavailabilty, and it last all day, which is wierd because it has a short half life...but in short, yes it will help. Can't comment on Lyrica, never have had it, on my list though.
