When I took Neurontin alone it made me tired, I slept deeply. BUT when I took it with Wellbutrin and selegiline I got a weird sorta wired. I was at book store and had a heck of a time making my eyes alight long enough on a title to read it. I wasn't unable to control myself and nobody picked up on it but it was like nothing I've experienced before and I've done my share of speed. Two hours later I had a terrific headache. I think if you took Neurontin by it's self you'd be helped.
How to get off the Klonopin, I don't know. I've kicked heroin, methadone, speed, and klonopin cold. I had no problem withdrawing from Klonopin(5mg daily for about 3 months) I think because I didn't think of Klonopin as heavy drug. I was buying it off the street in an attempt to ease my withdraw symptoms from Methadone. Didn't work at all. So I just stopped taking it. A big part of any withdrawal is FEAR. If you can get your mind away from the fear some how some way you'll do much better.
And as for your " normal struggle not to overeat." I hear you there. I love food. I love to cook and unfortunately I like to eat. I have 25 lbs extra pounds I just can not loose. That Wellbutrin really cuts the appetite but I personally wasn't loosing any weight! As with drug withdrawal, the more I think and obsess about diets/calories the fatter I get. Cutting calories isn't the answer, unless you plan on eating a starvation diet the rest of your life. Getting active is the answer but I can't get up the motivation, drive, energy to do it.
I can do something once but to CONTINUE doing something (walking, lifting weights, WORKING) is my biggest problem. I don't/can't stick to anything.So much for my problems......Good luck with yours
