> I have never heard of this before (in regard's to Paul's situation). First of all, I thought that Klonopin was an antianxiety drug, not an antiepileptic. Second, Klonopin may produce seizures if you stop taking it completely without tapering down. This is a withdrawal symptom, and the likelihood of seizure is greater if you have epilepsy. But I have never heard of Klonopin CAUSING epilepsy.
I have been on Klonopin and Neurontin, 40mg Paxil and 100mg of Seroquel. I am being treated for PTSD. I have major anxiety and Depression. Ihave been on these meds for almost a year. I tried to wean myself off the Neurontin and ended up in the hospital. This combination really works well for me but I am concerned about trying to get off. I definately will not try without my Dr.s help. Has anyone else went off of these meds. If so please tell me how it worked for you. Thanks much!
