I have a new doctor who after meeting with me for about 15 minutes suggested
I try Gabapentin.

My symptoms are frequent anxiety/panic attacks and - over the last few years
- a growing amount of agoraphobia (problems both with leaving the house and
with being home without an another adult). I do not have a social anxiety
disorder - I teach college classes and am generally fine with that (though I
do have attacks sometimes when I am teaching).

I also have what I call "wondering pains" - I just get pain in various parts
of my body for reasons nobody has ever been able to figure out (arms, legs,
torso... wherever). From what I have read Gabapentin might be beneficial
for that as well.

Thanks in advance.

Dear Snit,

I have no advice or suggestions. Just wanted to wish you success and luck on
the Gabapentin. Having battled severe agoraphobia......I empathize with what
you are going through.

Thank you... for the last 3 or 4 weeks I have actually been doing quite well
- better than I have for a long time. I have been exercising, doing yoga,
and drinking lots of water - not sure if that is what is helping but just
glad to be doing better. Not sure if I want to take the new med or not.
