I really dont think its a good idea to give people mood-stabilizers for anxiety. I mean, I guess it COULD work--I saw a study or two on Keppra for social anxiety--but the side effects seem a little too extreme. Benzos would be much better. When I was considered Bipolar II, I took 600-1200mgs/ Trileptal daily; at the higher end I got some anti-anxiety effects, but I also became stupid. If you're not bipolar, it seems like you could benefit from 150-300mgs, but you're probably better off just upping a benzo or adding BuSpar.
