I tried it for a few years didn't do any benefit, lousy sleeping, dry mouth and, livedo reticularis in the legs. I think anxiety can be a side effect l. Didn't see any benefit for me. I guess I can help some people.

I’ve taken only one pill, I didn’t like the way it made me feel, I told my neurologist and she prescribed me gabapentin and I’ve been on it for almost 2 years now
