Hi! My dr just put me on Zoloft and gabapentin. I have social anxiety so I'm hoping these two meds are going to help me. I was on Benzos for a long time. Has anyone ever been on those two meds? How did it work for you? Thanks!
 
I'm on Zoloft (Sertraline) 150mg and Gabapentin 600mg 4x a day for my Bi-polar/anxiety. It works great for anxiety if you remember to take your dosage correctly and at the same time of day. Otherwise I personally get cranky. Hope it helps!!
 
My dr put me on 300mg of gabapentin three times a day. She said 1200 is the max she will prescribe. I wanted to try 600mg but she wouldn't do that.
 
That should be an effective dosage, although I don't understand her obstancency with her limit there....
 
I was in treatment for xanax so I think she is just trying to be careful of what she prescribes me. I dunno.
 
Enjoy the first few days of it. Then tolerance builds. Maybe she will raise your limit in time? That's what my Dr. did.
 
Is there any way that you guys can take a couple of days off taking the gabapentin? Or is that not possible with your disorders?I used to used gabapentin recreationally and you only really need about 48 hours to bring tolerance down. If you are able to take a break you can enjoy the fruits of this medication for much longer, because everyday use does indeed build tolerence.
 
That's what I plan on doing. When I was on the gabapentin in rehab it worked real good the first week and then after that I couldn't even tell I was taking it.
 
Yes, but my symptoms personally are exasperated after not taking it after a day or so. Tolerance will go down, but I would say it goes down significantly after a week or more.
 
I mentioned before I'm on 600mg 4x a day. I forgot to take 1200mg a day for several months now. So basically I'm only taking 1200mg a day. Yesterday I took 3600mg and felt amazing. Expecially with a little THC.
