Benzos Benzo's and Gabapentin

[Phase0)))]

I have a prescription for Klonopin and Xanax, both 2mg. I medicinally take the Klonopin every once in awhile, and I rarely ever take the Xanax, usually I visit a village of greedy dwarves and exchange them for other goods.

Anyways I also have a prescription for Gabapentin (600 mg) and I was wondering something. I have been told that Neurontin is given to people for benzo withdrawal and I know it is a GABA Analouge, though I am not sure if Benzo's stimulate the release of GABA or their methods of action upon GABA receptors, but as for myself, I have never felt Neurontin really do anything similar to a benzo. Maybe it felt like a little bit more courage, in a way, and in large doses, like 9 or 10 grams, it gave me considerable energy. But I never took it while on benzos, and when I took it when I wasn't taking benzo's, it never produced the feeling of a benzodiazepine. Did not make a considerable difference in my anxiety; I think a lot of it was placebo effect.

So does anyone know if it would produce a stronger effect if I took neurontin on top of benzos? Like will the effect of Klonopin be enhanced? Or should they be taken separately? If separately, then why?

Thank you.

yes it will produce a much stronger effect. I'd take lyrica before the benzo but i'm not sure why, just the way i would do it.

And you know this from experience?

It dies increase the effects of benzo's, but kind of 'dirties' the experience IMO.

well with gabapentin yes, not lyrica though.

First time I had zanax and gabopentin together they made me high as a kite. I did not know it would happen and it caught me totally off guard, helped a bit with the opiate withdrawel but didn't like the high. There is some reaction between the two, do a Google search,
