My Doctor is weaning me off Cymbalta and putting me on lexapro and has increased my Gabapentin to 3 times a day now.

It will only work on nerve pain as gapapentin is not a pain killer, but reduces the wakefulness of nerve so they send less signals to the brain. If it's not nerve pain, they won't help.

Chantix is the drug used most commonly to stop smoking, not Cymbalta.

My anxiety/depression was getting worse so my Dr is weaning me off the Cymbalta and putting me on lexapro and wants to increase my gabapentin from once a day to 3x day now.

I take gabapentin for peripheral nerve pain in my spine and legs. I take it at night and only 100mg. If I start taking more than 100mg, I start getting anxiety/depression symptoms.
