Klonopin & Gabapentin for sleep

Wishing you all the best. I think you made a wise decision not going back to the Klonopin. Although it helped you sleep it also has many long term side effects which are too concerning. I despise that medication.

Thanks for sharing your opinion on Klonopin. I took 1mg 2x/day for yearss & it worked well for me (in my situation/at the time). I have since asked 6 doctors to prescribe this medication to me (to NO AVAIL) bc I have severe
anxiety. I wasn't aware of the addiction effects of Klonopin and don't remember how I felt when I quit taking it.
My severe anxiety causes me problems with chronic canker sores, social issues, problems concentrating and completing my day to day responsibilities such as paying bills, making phone calls, and making Dr appointments. My to do pile keeps getting taller and all these problems have gotten totally out of control. I feel that I'm so behind that there's no hope in ever getting back on track in my lifetime (hopelessness).
So, just needed to speak that out loud & I guess I'll continue to suffer bc I've got my mind made up that Klonopin is the only thing I want bc it worked so well for me in the past. My PCP prescribed buspirone which is nothing more than a waste of time for me to just swallow them.
