More recently, gabapentin has been added to the arsenal of medications used for the treatment of chronic pain, along with other anticonvulsant drugs, such as carbamazepine and clonazepam, as used in the treatment of neuropathies in children (Berde et ah, 1993 Green and Kowalik 1994). 

Treatment will call upon dopamine agonists, opioid medications, a benzodiazepine (clonazepam) that increases total sleep time, and drugs most commonly used as antiepileptic medication, such as gabapentin or equivalent. Dopamine agonists are the most effective and reduce the sleep deprivation and the patients complaints. But not all patients respond to dopamine agonists and methadone has been prescribed in the most refractory cases (21). 

For simple and complex partial seizures and secondary generalized tonic-clonic seizures, the first line drugs are - carbamazepine, valproate and phenytoin. Second line drugs include - acetazolamide, clobazam, clonazepam, ethosuximide, felbamate, gabapentin, lamotrigine, levetiracetam, oxacarbamazepine, primidone, tiagabine, topiramate and vigabactin. 

BZs should be reserved for patients at low risk of substance abuse, those who require rapid relief, or those who have not responded to other therapies. Clonazepam is the most extensively studied BZ for treatment of generalized SAD. It improved fear and phobic avoidance, interpersonal sensitivity, fears of negative evaluation, and disability measures. Adverse effects include sexual dysfunction, unsteadiness, dizziness, and poor concentration. Clonazepam should be tapered at a rate not to exceed 0.25 mg every 2 weeks. Gabapentin was effective for SAD, and onset of effect was 2 to 4 weeks. j8-Blockers blunt the peripheral autonomic symptoms of arousal (e.g., rapid heart rate, sweating, blushing, and tremor) and are often used to decrease anxiety in performance-related situations. For specific SAD, 10 to 80 mg of propranolol or 25 to 100 mg of atenolol can be taken 1 hour before the performance. A test dose should be taken at home on a day before the performance to be sure adverse effects wUl not be problematic. Incomplete response to a first-line agent may benefit from augmentation with buspirone or clonazepam.

Pharmacologic treatment of RLS includes dopaminergic agents, benzodiazepines, opioids, or anticonvulsants. In mild cases of RLS, benzodiazepines may be first-line agents. Clonazepam, lorazepam, triazolam, and temazepam have been effective. Clonazepam 0.5 to 2 mg is most frequently studied. Opiates such as methadone 5 to 20 mg, codeine 30 to 120 mg, and oxycodone 2.5 mg are very effective, but the development of tolerance is a concern. Abuse potential with opiates is also a concern due to the chronic nature of the condition. Other agents that have been used include apomorphine, amantadine, tramadol, magnesium, oxycodone, propoxyphene, gabapentin, bromocriptine, clonidine, and carbamazepine. Tolerance may de-...

C. Clinical Use Lithium carbonate is used in the treatment of bipolar affective disorder (manic-depressive disease). Maintenance therapy with lithium decreases manic behavior and reduces both the frequency and the magnitude of mood swings. Drug therapy with neuroleptics or benzodiazepines may also be required at the initiation of lithium treatment. Antidepressant drugs may be required adjunctively during maintenance. Alternative drugs of value in bipolar affective disorder include carbamazepine, clonazepam, gabapentin, and valproic acid.

Gabapentin 800 mg on the first day and 600 mg/day on the next 2 days has been prospectively studied in the treatment of acute severe alcohol withdrawal symptoms in 37 patients, of whom 27 were early responders and 10 required treatment with clomethiazole ( = 4) or clonazepam... 

In a retrospective study in 162 patients with epilepsy taking gabapentin, pre-existing myoclonus was worsened in two cases within 2 weeks of starting gabapentin in another case it occurred de novo [116. Withdrawal of gabapentin or clonazepam add-on treatment resulted in resolution of myoclonus with no serious sequelae in aU three cases. 

Clonazepam is usually more effective, and it is cheaper than pregabalin, duloxetine, gabapentin, or ropinirole, or hypnotics. Complex trials are not required to demonstrate clonazepam s effectiveness. No drug build-up is needed, but initial...
