> Currently I'm on 1mg of Clonazepam at night for bruxism. It works but my pdoc wants me to consider switching to Topamax or Neurontin for the Bruxism. I'm not sure these meds will work yet he has made some strong arguments against using the Clonazepam for a long-term solution.

Simcha,I read some of your posts from the beginning of the year when you first started taking Klonopin. That was one of the things that encouraged me to take it. I have noticed an improvement when I take 1.5 mg vs .5 mg but still doesn't wipe it out completely. But after reading some other posts I am considering asking my doc about taking an SSRI. I wonder if its a good idea to take 2 meds that can cause dependancy (SSRI and Benzo). I guess I'll just ask my doc. So are you going to switch to one of the other meds? Are they in the Benzo family also?
Thanks,
Toast
