I take Vicodin and Klonopin; both low doses. I can't take and am hypersensitive to Neurontin, Lyrica, Depakote, Elavil and/or Cymbalta...just too many SE's!

I take Topamax and only occasionally Xanax and that's very rarely, like maybe once every 6 months or so, it's only for panic attacks and I try very hard to talk myself out of them. I have had panic attacks for over 26 yrs, so I have become pretty good at handling them. Xanax is like a security blanket for me.
