[ga...] Posted November 26, 2019 Author Share Posted November 26, 2019 Is it generally recommended to taper the Benzo prior to thinking about the Gabapentin? Thank you. Would think so. Gabapentin is sometimes prescribed to help get a person off of a benzo, and I think is considered the lesser of 2 evils. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[be...] Posted November 29, 2019 Share Posted November 29, 2019 Is it generally recommended to taper the Benzo prior to thinking about the Gabapentin? Thank you. It does help with withdrawal but from my experience you reach tolerance pretty quickly. I opted to get off it while on Valium because I knew the benzo would help with problems. It turns out I was right as I got off easily. But that’s just me.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Completely unbeknownst to me, the possible effects during a K taper. what should be my primary considerations w the GABA? Keep everything the same until K taper is fully complete? Please advise.

[ga...] Posted December 10, 2019 Author Share Posted December 10, 2019 I did my benzo taper first and now am doing my gabapentin taper. My reasoning was I wanted to get rid of the drug that was doing me no good and lots of harm first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
