@fbw57 I believe Gabapentin is good for, among other things, reduction in nighttime leg cramps. It helps me with that, but not with nerve pain from back injuries. The Klonopin - I cut from 2 mg to 1 mg overnight with no after effect. It helps with sleep, and mild anxiety, but I take the 1 mg in the morning first and it helps keep the jitters away. I know they publish a super long wean-off rate, but it seems overdone. If people need months and months to get off of it, maybe it's an addiction, not a physical need.
