Adding Neurontin?

So if you've followed my previous Prozac post you know I've been struggling with this med change from Lexapro.

-Did 5 weeks at 20mg, was a nightmare.
-Started 40mg last Wednesday.
-I had a meeting today with the Nurse Practitioner at my Intensive Outpatient Therapy at the Behavioral Institute wants me to go from 40mg of Prozac to 60mg this wednesday (after one week at 40mg), she feels this will be my therapeutic dose.

BUT she wants to add Neurontin to the plan. I'm currently on Klonopin, I've been on it for 2 years and it's no longer helping my anxiety. She wants me to start taking Neurontin 3x a day and keep my 1mg of Klonopin at night for now and begin a titrate for that. She believes this is the best route because of my tolerance to Klonopin means I have a tolerance to all Benzo's. She believes this will greatly help my anxiety.

Anyone else on Neurontin? How was your experience? Did it bring relief? How long until it was noticeable?

I HATE med changes because of the unknown reaction and side effects. It actually triggers my anxiety. This Prozac change hasn't been easy, so I'm nervous about bringing something new in while I'm still adjusting.

Thank you :)

I had Neurontin added to medication for help with pain management. I did not have side effects that I remember. I didn't even realize at the time that it also helped with anxiety. As my pain decreased I took myself off of the medicine (yes, I know better) and my anxiety level increased. I can see now that it definitely has some therapeutic value for anxiety.

No experience at all with that drug, but I am super-happy to see you post again, and that you've managed to get your Prozac dosage up a notch.

Keep fighting the good fight Kwilson!
