I didn't mean to imply that Neurontin works just like Xanax, but to me, it *felt* like Xanax. I just found that kind of interesting.
> Especially if mood swings are controllable with Xanax which I originally started because of insomnia. I know Xanax is not a good choice for insomnia but the side effects are so minimal compared to Ambien, Tylenol PM, Ativan, Trazodone, Sinequan, etc.
Actually I think Xanax is fine for insomnia, and I use it myself. Not on a daily basis, but occasionally when I need it. It lasts just the right amount of time. A "good choice" for insomnia (or anything) is whatever works for you.
