> Nardil works on reuptake of gaba. Maybe you don't need your klonopin and xanax. This might be a good thing. you might try slowly reducing them and see what happens.

Good point, practically speaking. However-- and sorry to be technical, but-- Nardil does not affect GABA *reuptake* at all as far as we know, it inhibits the enzyme (GABA-transaminase I believe) that degrades GABA, the end result probably essentially being the same thing as if it inhibited its reuptake-- namely, more synaptic GABA available. So, you're still right that one may not need as much if any benzo while on Nardil, potentially.
