Gabapentin/Klonopin Taper?

I soon will start my taper with my docs assistance. What considerations should I have for the other pain medications I’m taking? I will eventually taper down from Gabapentin as well. The Norco I will always have to take depending on my pain level. Do opiates mask Benzo tapering symptoms?

Hello PF73,

 

I hope you'll consider only tapering one medication at a time, I'd suggest the Klonopin to be the first to go.  We have a support group for those tapering from Gabapentin, it's located here if you'd like to check it out. http://www.benzobuddies.org/forum/index.php?topic=84267.0

 

I don't have any experience with opiates, but I know other members do, perhaps you could start a thread using that specific question in the subject title.
