Freaking out!

I was prescribed gabapentin ( generic of neurontin ) for my severe anxiety. It is peculiar in that it was actually first used as an anti-convulsant for people with seizure disorders.
My experience with it is somewhat mixed in that it sometimes works to kill anxiety and other times it does NOTHING. Also it has a VERY short half-life, so that you must take multiple doses throughout the day and it has a very LOW
bio-availability which means that the human body absorbs only a small portion of what it actually takes in.
Any one else out there using this drug ?
