I was prescribed Neurontin as a mood-stabilizer & though it would be like a non addicting, non tolerance building alternative to benzos like Klonopin. For me though, it didn't work for social phobia, & made me somnolent, drowsy, & much more irritable all of the time.
Which of the new mood stabilizers/anticonvulsants (Gabitril, Topamax, Lamictal) feel like taking a benzodiazepine like Klonopin, or even better reproduce the wonderful relaxed, happy, & sociable feeling you have after drinking 3 beers? Although high-dose Klonopin would probably be the best medicine in my case, I always end up with doctors who are scared of benzos because they are supposedly addictive & tolerance blah, blah, blah, & so I am trying to find a good alternative.
