Gabapentinoids Lyrica makes me anxious, would gabapentin be the same?

[Kara Kava]

I'm getting close to being off methadone and I have all the comfort meds just in case
Lyrica
Clonidine
Baclofen
Benzos
When I take the lyrica, even 25mg makes me anxious but from my memory they did help with withdrawal symptoms years ago.
Would gabapentin have the same effect but no anxiety?
I have nerve pain in a shoulder so I'm eventually going to need pain relief so I'm wondering if they are different or lyrica is just stronger

Pregabalin is much stronger than gabapentin.

If 25mg is making you anxious then yeah, I’d try the gabapentin. It’s got super low bioavailability. Try 200mg or so see how you get one.
