jlo820,
Thank you! That was very kind of you and is much appreciated. I have some good info here. When I asked my doctor the other day he just bipassed my concern, so I don't know what else to think. I take Klonopin and from what you found here, the Klonopin should help, but it hasn't seemed to. I was on Neurontin for about a month then taken off-it could be withdrawals from that.
Thanks again!
