Gabapentin for cognition problems/severe anxiety?

Curious about anyone’s experiences with gabapentin? Has it helped anyones anxiety / cognition in any way? I’m currently on 200mg Seroquel and 300-600 mg gabapentin brn. I noticed that I tend to think clearer and feel less dread/anxiety while on gabapentin, and was curious about anyone’s experiences taking it long term.

It helped my anxiety and my cognition was ok on retrospect. Benzodiazepines in comparison are a lot more detrimental to cognition imo.

I am on pregabalin now (gabapentin sister molecule)

I take Gabapentin for my bipolar. Its a good add on to my other mood stabilizer.

Yes it helps with my mental performance,cognition, and anxiety. I was taking 1000mg a day fo sz, but my neurologist uped it to 2600mg a day for my head injury. I had great results from it. I feel normal, if i even remeber what that feels like.

I’ve been on Gabapentin. It helped for a while. Not sure why I got off of it. I don’t think it improves cognition, but hey, it would be great if it did.

I might consider it again. I’m not sure.
