Just glancing it over, Pach, it looks like it just reduces the anxiety a person may experience during alcohol withdrawal. It seems that in their study they have found that Gabapentin lowers the transmission of GABA. It seems that drunks have a higher rate of GABA transmission which results in higher anxiety during withdrawal. At least, in drunk rats, for sure! It doesn't seem to indicate a decrease in cravings. Not sure but that's my take away from what little is on that page.

Keep getting better! You're worth it!
