I know a lot of doctors are 100% opposed to benzos. I honestly don't know how my own feels; she has been prescribing them for me for many years and is definitely fine with that but I also had an IP doctor allow me to take them and he is well-known for hating them. He felt that I needed them and since he always was in touch with my pdoc when I was IP I assume she is why he let me have them.

I want to find out more about whether replacing my klonopin with gabapentin is possible once I am stabilized but since my pdoc just said something about limiting the gabapentin (and I didn't ask why' could be that last time I was on gabapentin I did not do well on normal doses) that may not be an option.

For now I am just not worried about it because if my pdoc thought it was an issue at all she would have brought it up. I am still going to as but right now it seems that it is better for me to take them than not. And I know my pdoc knows what she is doing so that's even less room to worry.
