Thanks for your response, Mirthazard. I wish that was the answer, but I've not been taking Magnesium because I read that somewhere. I did hear that it's ok if taken several hours apart but have been too afraid to try it! Thank you, though.

 I would like to ask if you've built up tolerance to Gabapentin since being prescribed. I'm going to start tapering my benzo again and I"m sure the doctor will want to start me back on the same dose you're taking. I"m so afraid of building up a tolerance and ending up being one of those people that's on large doses per day.

I also notice you have myoclonus. I think I've developed that since dropping Gabapentin too fast. I have twitching in my legs that I never had before. I do have restless leg syndrome too, but never had this twitching thing. It's awful.  Hope you're doing better now. 

.75 mg Klonopin for 10 years

Switched to Valium in 2020 to begin taper

Current dose of Valium is 8 mg. Holding

Gabapentin, 100 mg 6 months. Tapering. at 75 mg now

Buspirone 10 mg 3 times a day.
