My psych actually prescribed me lyrica when I lost some of my clonazapen.. I was taking bout 5 mgs a day of klonopin and when I ran out early, I couldn't refill it because he said it was 10 days early.. so my psych prescribed me 150mg lyrics, 3 times a day.. from past experience it has helped somewhat to deal with the few days of no clonazapn until the time past and I could get it again.. probably helps the most to prevent seizures or any serious effects.. although it doesn't help anxiety like the benzo does.. I know my psych said he's had a lot of success weaning people off benzos with lyrica.. considering I "managed" for a few days dropping from a high does of a benzo to just lyrica.. I could see how lyrica, if used correctly with a benzo, probably could help one to reduce their dosage or come off the benzo.. I'm thinking about talking to my psych to try that and get down to 2mg or even 1 mg of clonazapen.. and then hopefully that will be ok for me, or perhaps I could eventually come off completely.. we'll see.. either way.. best wishes to you and everyone with any situations similar..
