Convey your symptoms let your psychiatrist do proper assessment, if needed investigations and then select appropriate treatment, which will be better, rather than you using your Google knowledge to ask for a particular drug. Good luck

It is advisable if you let your psychiatrist choose a best possible medicine for you as per your symptoms. However, coming to your specific query, gabapentin is a safe drug and generally does not cause tolerance. In my opinion, there are better alternatives compared to gabapentin that can resolve your symptoms.
