I take either 100mg or 150mg a night, that and an average dose of 0.5mg of clonazepam are what keeps me functional and in work. Far from ideal, but at this point have very little choice, I need to pay a mortgage and actually still try to enjoy life a bit. I’ll cross the bridge of coming off them...

I have a pregablin supply but it’s not my own, it’s good for sleep and the next day caring less. Gabapentin with clonazepam was potent combo for me personally it significantly reduced the variability and reactiveness of my tinnitus and the clonazepam dose could be reduced when combined.

I agree and the more I read I think a significant element of our problems are hyperexictable nerves/central sensitisation gone wild. Gabapentin was a good effective drug for me, I just haven’t asked for it again as convinced GP will pull me off clonazepam, potentially time for a mega slow taper...

It’s beyond soul destroying, trying anything new other than previous cocktail? Contentious topic but have you any thoughts on meditation and trying to dampen hyperactivity based on the central sensitisation theory?

Still in really bad place, totally variable, gave up on patches as wasn’t feeling benefit. Still taking clonazepam no longer effective, take pregablin for sleep 3 days a week. What’s caused your setback?

Yes can be used off label for anxiety

Hi, I don’t mind you asking I’m in my early 40s, clonazepam isn’t an ideal drug to be on at all but if it allows you to function and continue to work my philosophy is then it’s the only option in my case. Tough at your age but understand what it’s like to struggle so much.

I was initially only taking it twice a week and if you can stick to that routine I think it’s definitely the best way to take it. I take .5mg a day and no longer really helps.

Not to the same extent is was initially, sadly.

About 18 months

I did, combined with clonazepam it worked really well for a while but then lost it's effectiveness.
