Klonipan does nothing for me but put to sleep. Everyone i know that has those drinks on em. I quite gabapentin cold turkey one time, when first started, since I couldn't feel much, didn't think it was a big deal. 3 days later with no sleep, non stop sweating on back of head and neck only and I headed to urgent care. Dr checks me out, asks me some stuff and informs me never to quit gaba again like that, I was having a seratonin event and got couple of benzos to get over the edge, then when I talked to my pharmacist, he said never do that, come in and I give ya two or three till get to dr. so even tho gaba is a pussy painkiller, its got a monkey that will bit hard.When my wife was dying the dr put me on klonopin. After about 6 months it was making have some serious depression. Tried to quit cold turkey and the withdrawal was bad. I didn't sleep for 4 straight nights. So, the dr put me on gabapentin instead because it prevents benzo withdrawal, and I proceeded to taper off that instead. I did it successfully, but a couple of times I didn't take it when was supposed to, and the withdrawal was HELL.
As a point of reference, I was on hardcore opiates for six months due to getting stabbed 28 times, and the withdrawal from that was a cakewalk compared to gabapentin. Just want to warn anyone who might need to know, definitely avoid getting physically addicted to gabapentin. You can actually die from that withdrawal.
