First day on Gabapentin... am i supposed to feel almost drunk?

well I would not rely on some medicine to keep me sober or my anxiety in check (nothing wrong with psych meds if they are needed, calibrated and that’s what works for you and your life, but they should not be used solely to deal with anything and relied upon as our only tool, imo). I deal with anxiety too and mental health struggles, so, yeah, that is part of life for a lot of sober folks. there is plenty info on here on how to deal with lots of stuff in early and later recovery. use the :mag_right: up top to search for anything, dealing with anxiety for example.
otherwise: welcome here and it’s time for you now to start putting the work into your sobriety to be able to live your life and enjoy it, without needing to check out any longer. here are some threads I can recommend:
