Usually they first try the standard medication, before they try something off label.
Neurontin is probably not really probed to tread anxiety.
So I would first try the standart mediaction and if there nothing works and the symptoms are severe there can still be tryed something off label.
And by the way:
Quote:
Gabapentin has been associated with an increased risk of suicidal acts or violent deaths.[31] In 2009 the U.S. Food and Drug Administration issued a warning of an increased risk of depression and suicidal thoughts and behaviors in patients taking gabapentin, along with other anticonvulsant drugs[32] modifying the packaging insert to reflect this.[25] In July 2009 the manufacturer of gabapentin (Pfizer) went to trial regarding the association between gabapentin and the increased risk of suicide.[33]
