Switched from hydroxyzine 25mg to gabapentin 100mg big difference + dosing question I recently switched from hydroxyzine 25mg to gabapentin 100mg for anxiety, and honestly it’s been a huge improvement for me. I feel a lot calmer without that heavy, drowsy feeling hydroxyzine gave me. My prescription says: “take 1–2 capsules by mouth up to 3 times daily as needed,” and I’m a little confused on how people actually take it. Do you usually stick to 1 capsule per dose, or go up to 2? Has anyone taken the full 2 capsules, 3x/day (so 6 total), and how did that feel? Also curious how gabapentin has worked for you long-term for anxiety.

Would love to hear your experiences!
