Brief Answer:
Not the best drug s for anxiety.

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I will not recommend these as first intention. I will usually go with clonazepam or fluoxetin. Am not sure your doctor would use neurotin or gabapentin as first intention.

Let me know what your doctor thinks and am available for more insights and clarifications if need be.
