I'd like to hear everyone's opinion on using gabapentin for benzodiazepine withdrawal. I have had some success using gabapentin to help reduce the amount of benzos I take. Its seems to me that gabapentin potentiates small levels of clonezepam. They both work on GABA receptors.
I've read several studies that say it is completely safe to combine these two medicines, especially while using long acting benzos like Valium in low doses. Anyway, I have a ruptured disc in my neck and two in my back from a life in the US Army Infantry. So, I have to take the gabapentin anyway. Thats when I noticed that I did not need as much Klonopin. Has anyone else had any experience with these two drugs/drug types.
