I don't mean to add to your problems, but for me and my own crummy anxiety, neurontin and klonopin work well together.
Neurontin's effects don't start immediately, so maybe a faster acting benzo like ativan or xanax would be better to start the day with, but the neurontin, for me personally, extends the power of the benzo.
Please don't give up because the relief you will feel will be formidable once you get the right doseage and or combo.
I hear that klonopin is the benzo of choice....at least at first because of the long half-life. But if it is not for you, it is not for you!
Anecdote: People swear by the sleeping pills ambien and dalmane (flurazepam). I could swallow the whole bottle and have nothing but dry mouth in the morning - after I have been awake all night!!!! So, those just don't cut it for me.......NEXT, I say :-).
I am sure you will find the right thing for you....please keep in touch.
