You probably know Clonazepam is Klonopin -- it is addicting too and has withdrawal symptoms as well. When I was abruptly taken off Neurontin, they took Klonopin and Tramadol from me as well.

I was on 3mg Klonopin nightly to help me sleep and the Tramadol I took every 6 hours for pain. Tramadol is not a 'regulated' pain medication however.

Thanks for sharing your experience. I find it interesting but scary at the same time.

I was put on Neurontin as a last ditch effort to control my being Bipolar. Neurontin did not help with my MS spine pain nor did it do much in the way of my Bipolar problems.

Take care.
