[Be...] Posted March 5, 2019 Share Posted March 5, 2019 has anyone used gabapentin to help from protracted withdrawals of Xanax and did it help or hurt??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[By...] Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 I wasn't protracted, but taking a small dose while tapering, you need a pretty high dose for it to do much of anything, it of course can cause side effects and some have had a hard time coming off. Since I'm already on gabapentin I'm asking my doc to switch me to lyrica because I've been on it in the past with no issues. Who knows about this time though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Me...] Posted April 14, 2019 Share Posted April 14, 2019 Idk...I can’t figure out if I’m in protracted withdrawal or my symptoms are gaba side effects Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[Da...] Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 I'm starting to believe that my protracted benzo withdrawals are actually gabapentin side effects, especially since starting my taper. I noticed my benzo withdrawals got worse after four months post c/t. I now believe those were actually the bad effects from gapapentin. Who knows. I'll never know for sure.

[Me...] Posted April 18, 2019 Share Posted April 18, 2019 Dave - my Benzo withdrawal was hell. If this is gaba side effects, it’s not as bad. Still annoying though. Feeling medication injured. Anyone else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
