Gabapentin remains controversial for a lot of folks. I have to admit that it helps me in dealing with social anxiety, it really can have a calming affect. But getting the dose right can be hard. And according to side effect profile it can make **some** guys agitated and restless--i.e., a little manicky, bad kind. It also is one hec of a gainer. If you're enclined that way. That's the sole reason I don't include it in my med regime anymore--lithium is bad enough for me, but with the gabapentin I go up one or two sizes within a matter of weeks. So--maybe worth a go, it could be helpful in calming. ramsea
