I haven't read this whole thread yet, just the first few comments, but I wanted to mention that *I* take etizolam (6 mg a day, 2 mg morning, mid-day, and night, and sometimes only 1 mg in the middle of the day but right now I'm EXTREMELY anxious but this is the max I will take. Ever. There is no tolerance effect either, I notice it is MORE effective the longer you take it. I have been taking it daily since this past January and it helps a great deal for my anxiety.) I also am scripted 600 mg gabapentin 3x a day, and I don't take it as prescribed. Rather, I horde it and use it for coming down off opiates. (By coming down, I mean reducing my dosage, and therefore assisting with the minimal WD effects I experience.) I'm currently down to just codeine, with some Kratom and weak PST here and there, and soon will step down to Kratom alone. The gabapentin is ENORMOUSLY effective for WD. I actually feel good instead of feeling lousy.
Now a note. I abused gabapentin from the moment I was prescribed it, at just 100 mgs 3x a day, and in the beginning it was HEAVENLY. I would walk around all day on a cloud, feeling the euphoria rush through me. But when I got scripted harder opiates, gabapentin lost that feeling and just made me tired. Now that I'm reducing my tolerance to opiates, some of the good feelings have come back when I load up on it, but it's not like it was in the beginning. I think it never will be again. My gaba receptors are getting a little tired
This is my experience. And I want to note that gabapentin AND etizolam IS a good combo for anxiety and depression. Problem is, my depression is pretty bad right now, and I think I need to go back on Prozac, which had no side effects for me other than COMPLETE loss of sexual function (which doesn't matter anyway, the last time I got laid was last October or something, with 3 kids you don't care about sex, you'd rather have more sleep!!!)
