Hi, I'm Suzanne

Hey Suzanne! Welcome and thanks for joining us. Wishing you all the best in your taper and hoping to see checkins from you over time so we can celebrate your wins together and support you in your times of need. May i ask Who is Dora?

Hello @Suzanne....nice to have you here! I'm sorry your Gabapentin taper is proving to be difficult. You said you're experiencing depression and anxiety....I'm sorry. Did you also say you're on HRT? Also, I'm sorry to hear about the insomnia. That's something that is so common when tapering. When you said you want to replace the Klonopin with "Dora," what do you mean by that word? It's not familiar to me. Please clarify when you get a chance...thank you. How are you trying to manage your symptoms? We have lots of self-care tips in the Symptoms and Self-Care section of the forum. What supplements are you on? Sometimes those can affect things too. When dealing with multiple drugs, it's best to taper only one at a time; otherwise, you won't know what's causing what and it can make withdrawal symptoms worse. We look forward to supporting you through your tapering journey! Catina 🩷

Hello, Is gabapentin as notorious for bad withdrawal as is Pregabalin/Lyrica? By Dora do you mean this new class of drugs: "DORA medications, or dual orexin receptor antagonists, are a newer class of prescription drugs used to treat insomnia by blocking orexin receptors in the brain, which helps reduce wakefulness. Examples include daridorexant, lemborexant, and suvorexant." -Wolf
