In reply to A few med questions about anxiety..., posted by Joeypanic on August 3, 2001, at 0:59:40
I'll be trying neurontin tomorrow for bipolarII, but I specifically asked for it because it is supposed to be helpful for anxiety (which I have). I don't know how long it will take for me to feel it's effects, but I'll let you know how I do on it (maybe week by week?). I also get derealization, so I'll let you know if it does anything for that.
I tried most of the SSRI's too and they just weren't for me.
I hear beta-blockers are good for the physical symptoms of anxiety (shakiness etc.), but you might still FEEL anxious. I guess they're good to use for things like public speaking so no one can see that you're nervous. HTH
