In my experience, the next best thing (and sometimes better thing) to a benzo is neurontin. Not everyone has good reactions to it, but it has been a lifesaver for me and I am grateful for it in spite of the tweaking it does to my appetite :-(
I wish I had lots of suggestions for you.....I am still trying toi find the right combination, but I know that it would be a relief to just ..exhale.......
Neurontin is a pretty clean drug (though the marketing of it has not been). I bet your doc would write you a script.
I really, really hope that you start to get relief ...I don't know you, but hugs anyway......
Diane> I sure would like a benzo, but my doc REFUSES to give me one-like ativan or xanax. I think I need one-but I overdosed on ativan and he thinks I'm too impulsive to have them.I may call him again today and beg for one.
