> > My pdoc has had me on a million things to replace Ativan, which I am currently addicted to for insomnia. I have severe Irritable Bowel Syndrome, which causes serious discomfort at night. Sedatives, antipsychotic meds have all either failed or had bad side effects. Is neurontin a possibility? Will he prescribe it? thanks.

> Danny,I have no suggestions as to just what med to use to replace the Ativan;however,I can and do suggest that you only take small steps at a time to get off of the Ativan. Go very slowly.Ask your pdoc if melatonin would be OK for you. I've been taking it so I can sleep (am on Effexor-XR) and it helps.
