Klonopin & Gabapentin for sleep

I also take clonezepam and gabapentin. I am prescribed clonezepam for combat stress, and insomnia and the gabapentin for a ruptured disc in my neck. It turns out, I'm able to take less clonezepam if I take gabapentin (600-900 mg per day), clonezepam (1.0-1.5 MG per day). Before, I required 2.0-2.5 MG of clonezepam to keep me from having panic episodes or having sleepless nights. The Gabapentin potentiates the benzodiazepines possibly because they work on the same receptors (GABA). That's just my guess, however, we are seeing more people treated with gabapentin for anxiety. These are usually larger doses than used to treat nerve pain. The two work well together.

Gabapentin is suppose to be very hard to get off of to.
