gabapentin and klonopin

it is true that you need to taper off under the supervision of a doctor valium will make you feel severe drowsiness be careful and the gabapentin takes time to work google the pills you want to take before and find out about interactions ok :)

Mammo is Xanax is not long lasting klonopin is and I have take klonopin and now I take Gabapentin which helps to prevent the attacks. But talk to your doctor first and see which will be better for you.

i was on klonopin for anxiety and restless leg syndrome, my dr just changed me to 75mg of lryica twice a day and i have noticed that i am not having the nightly panic attacks or the rls either.... and it is also helping with my nerve pain in my back due to herniated discs.. so far no side effects aside from a little lethargy but that is to be expected.

I take 100 mg zoloft 100mg gabapentin and .05 mg klonopin and I have tried many other meds for my depression and anxiety. but they don't help and i am sick of trying new ones. i have lost all hope that anything can help me. so how bad is it to just stop taking them?

I have cut down from 2 mgs per day to 1 mg. I also take Celexa and Gabapentin at night. I have had no problems for years, but I feel less active than I used to and have thought about trying to get off meds. I just don't want to spend a long time being miserable. I have tried before and my panic attacks returned immediately. That's why I am holding at 1mg. I am afraid of being an old woman still calling in my script every month.

I have had conversations about Gabapentin (and my intolerance to it) and I have learned through my own trial and error that it does take time for your body to adjust. I also know (through googling many different medications) that each time you adjust the dosage, that your body can have side effects. The side effects should get better as your body adjusts, but if they don't, you should definitely talk to your doctor about it.

I finally told my doc I was sick of taking they are ruining my life. He gave me clonidine and gabapentin. Both have worked great so far.

I am now again taking 300 mg of gabapentin 3 times a day, klonopin 2mg at night and .5 mg in the day, 50 mg of vistaril at night, and 25 mg of vistaril twice a day as well as 50 mg of Zoloft in the morning. I am doing better than I was. I wish I didn't need medication but realize I need it for my anxiety and even with medicine it never goes away 100%.

Klonopin must be tapered off slowly and gently. The best thing to do is to write yourself a chart, i.e.: 2.5 for 3 days, 2mg for 3 days etc.. until you are at 0.5mg ant night, then 0.25 ant night, then maybe every other night then stop. Stick with that. Talk to you doctor about putting you on something like Gabapentin for a few months. Good luck.

t know gabapentin was supposed to help with that problem, but your doc obviously knows more than i do about this and many other things. I'll read up on that. I'm not sure if my tremor has changed since beginning gabapentin (for eye pain) last year. Jess, you describe the conditions quite well under which I find my hand shaking. However, mine has always been a rhythmic back-and-forth shaking.

Her psychiatrist should be made aware of the fact that she has a co existing addictive disorder as benzodiazepenes (the class of medication Klonopin and Xanax are in) are contraindicated with a person with a substance abuse disorder due to the potential of addictiion but only a psychiatrist would understand this in full.

I also take tranquilizers, those are powerful drugs and have to be used responsibly. And as for gabapentin, it is possible your doc thinks it may help it from experience in treating your condition, I don't know, but it is used for a number of things other than fibromyagia, including some muscle problems. Instead of gabapentin, I take its cousin pregabalin, altho I've been on both. I have severe lower back pain, it takes care of it.

Hi, I've been taking Zoloft 100mg for OCD for the last 4 weeks, my dr increased me to 150mg. Is it normal to have nervousness and increased sweating and headache when increasing dosage? I was feeling good on 100 mg and side effects were subsiding. How long will it take to adjust to 150? I also was just put on 10mg of lisiniprol for high blood pressure. And I'm taking gabapentin for insomnia from the Zoloft. I really appreciated any advice!

I saw your same question on another site which got some expert advice that said, "There are two other anticonvulsants that doctors use to treat intractable hiccups: valproic acid and gabapentin." I hope that you saw it which was posted before your answer back to me. But in case not, I've included it here. Hope that it might help.

I tried ativan, gabapentin to help the pre-sleep anxiety and the PLMD, but had bad reactions to both. Now I am taking Klonopin (2mg) (for a month before final study) and I fall right asleep and my LMI has gone from the 50s to below 10. This last study showed 0% REM. The problem is, the previous five studies REM% were between 0% and 6% at the highest. Sleep doc wants me to stay on the Klonopin, but has told me the cause of my lack of REM is due to my medications.

Yesterday (Tuesday) my Psychiatrist basically informed me that the medicines I'm currently on, Klonopin and Gabapentin, are essentially doing 'all they can do' for me. I've been suffering from some rather severe depression lately, with anxiety continuing to be the beast that never sleeps.

I have been on 4mg of Klonopin for about 8 years. I took a 2mg in the A.M. and another 2mg in the afternoon. This is torture. I've been tapering down for three months and at first I was completely manic. I didn't realize at the time that I was manic because I was tapering down. The withdrawl is not getting better. I had no Klonopin left and I was going insane. Physically I am barely able to sleep and my nerves feel like they are zapping? I am so Irritable!!!

When I stopped the medication, I started with serious problems (a lot of crying, anxiety, panic attack and sleep problems). I did not sleep for 3 days, then I slept like for three days. I do not feel tired anymore, I do not get that sleepy tired feeling. I have tried many meds to help me to sleep (trazodone, klonopin, Geodon..) nothing help. Now I am sleeping 2-3 hours a night with the help of gabapentin, but I do not feel tired, I DO NOT GET SLEEPY.

I take Savella and Gabapentin. I am wondering if you would have any suggestions for me or know of any meds that cause this condition. I also take Verapmil, Lasix, Klonopin, Synthroid, Potassium. Thank you for any possible suggestions or help.

yes you certainly can. I have been on gabapentin 1800mg (for neuropathic pain) for 5 years now and Lamictal 150mg (lowered from 300mg originally)..for abt 18 months this I take for mood stabilizing. I have noticed no side effects from either drug alone or combined, except possibly some short term memory problems that may or maynot be related to the lamictal.

Trilipix is 184USD, Crestor is 189USD, and even generic gabapentin is 154USD. Lexapro is about 140UDS. Generic Klonopin is about 10USD. Remeron is about the same. And Inderal is 4USD. This is all per month, and I need every one of them. How can I keep affording this when my parents are gone?!?!

m prescribed effexor, gabapentin, klonapin, adderall, and naltrexone. I do drink, though the naltrexone has helped. If I over-indulge, I can get kind of crazy. So I have to stop that. I am not bi-polar, although that seems to be what the doctor thinks since he keeps upping my dose of gabapentin. He recently told me to stop taking the adderall entirely which seem a little risky since I was on 50mg's and just recently was dropped to 30.

t want to do it and upped my Celexa instead for the time being to 40mg to give it a longer shot, but my fear is that the Gabapentin works on GABA and the Klonopin works on GABA, and that worries me, and now you say the Depakote isn't a good idea if you're on Klonopin.

Last night my BP was 154/84 and pulse was 92 with the severe dizziness and jello legs. I took all my meds I take for anxiety, klonopin, gabapentin and vistaril and just laid there and tried to stay calm. I was shaking all over, like the freezing chills but wasn't cold. It took about 2 hrs for the attack to go away and my vitals to return to normal. It was very scary. This is the 3rd time I have had an attack that severe.

Theirs always a problem with abuse, dependence, and more commonly tolerance to benzodiazepines like Xanax and Klonopin at higher doses, and yes people with say 4 mgs may just take half and sell the other half. But the maximum dose for Klonopin is decided by your psychiatrist generally the highest I see is 6mgs 2mg pill t.i.d. three times daily, P.S. b.i.d.

I started on Gabapentin and it worked at first. I have had 3 more attacks since then and after going up to 2700mg a day, my neuro switched me to Lyrica. He told me the difference is that if you draw a graph the effectiveness of the Lyrica goes up equally as the dose goes up. with Gabapentin the higher you go the more the effectiveness tapers off. That is probably confusing.
