In reply to Neurontin superior to Klonopin?, posted by JaneB on September 16, 2003, at 20:18:53
Taking Klonopin 2mg./day for several yrs. - still has good anxiolytic effect.
About a year ago, I added Neurontin 300mg./day. It had significant anxiolytic effect for the 1st six months or so, but gradually lost that effect. Now I feel it's doing nothing and am considering stopping it.
It's had no side effects for me.
I've read of "cross-tapering" Neurontin to aid in benzodiazepine withdrawal/discontinuation (also Tegretol is used for this).
Hope this helps.
