Lose the neurontin if it doesn't work. Get rid of the klonipin too. Benzodiazepines are not good for you long term. Benzos put you on a roller coaster. They are good for the moment but I feel they cause rebound. You grow tolerant to them and then dependent.
Have you ever tried adding Pindolol (aka Visken)? It is a beta blocker which is good for anxiety. It is also a strong augmentation med for some people. It has been very helpful for me. It is pretty fast acting so you don't have to wait six weeks or more to evaluate it.
Does that dose of Lamictal have any negative physical side effects for you? I have been thinking of increasing my dose.
