thanks...there was a time where i took gabapentin for chronic headaches..didnt seem to do a whole lot for me except make me kind of surly..it was a quick withdrawal with every muscle in my body feeling like it was pulled but mentally no real problems..im coming to a conclusion that i dont care what im taking as long as it helps me feel better..im 45 have 2 grade school boys and 14 hour days between a very stress filled job and then taking care of the boys/homework/sports/general mayhem etc etc..taking klonopin to help cope seems like a rational response for now, my wife likes me better on it because im less quick to anger. of course im gonna follow whatever recommendations my psych has, for example i think im probably on my last 30 day rx of the zolpidem..im falling asleep without it now..but catching up on a month of waking up at 3-4 am and getting some rest finally..i dont think my psych believes in long term benzo rx but we'll see what he says, honestly i feel like im a better person on them but also dont want it to take a turn for the worse, so i will follow his guidance.
> Just 2¢. Lyrica withdrawal is not nearly as severe as benzodiazepine withdrawal can be, and Lyrica could be useful and more useful than gabapentin.
