> I was on Klonopin before the Adderall trial and am on it now since *then*. When the Adderall was tried I was off all benzos and AD's. It was just a simple combo: Adderall (5mg/day) + Neurontin (300mg/day). EVERYTHING was fine, no noticeable cycling, no hypomania, no depression, greatly improved attention, ability to tolerate ordinary simple activities/tasks without restlessness wanting to get away, etc., amazingly regular sleep/wake cycles with adequate sleep (7-8hrs every nite). BUT I was still edgy, uptight, and kind of socially "cool" and "distant". I am not sure if this was SSRI withdrawal or not(?). Perhaps if I was taking Klonopin (mildly serotonergic)and/or Lithium or Depakote with the Neurontin/Adderall I wouldn't have panicked and had it discontinued??
I think that's a good guess. Many people need something to offset the jitters from stimulants.
