Wellbutrin was only in my system for a week. The dry throat caused me to wake up consistently each morning at 3 AM with a painfully dry feeling, which is too much on my sleep schedule to take- so I don't know how it would do.
I've been taking Neurontin as needed for about 6 months. I decided it might not be best for mono therapy when after experiencing great results the first day, I had left the pills in my bag in someone's car and ended up acting noticably anxious around a potential "mate". I'd prefer something, at least to add, that didn't leave after 6 hours.
Klonopin and Neurontin don't seem too sedating. I've nodded on Neurontin a few times, but it only exaggerates sedation when I'm already fatigued. Yeah, nodding's annoying, but most times I don't because I get enough sleep. Klonopin scares me because I have a "reduced drive to talk," so I don't know how I'd respond in public speaking.
And I've read all the docs about second and third-line therapies on the web for doctors, and one a few even mention xanax as an effective treatment, and some even point to studies showing it was ineffective. It's really strange that the one benzo considered as gold standard for SP makes one not talk, since that appears to be one of the problems for us...
