I been tapering valium for a long time but last few months have especially been rough. I am down to 1mg valium spread through out the day and sometimes mostly before bed.  Doesn't do much for my sleep anymore though, if anything it gives me a harsh feeling shortly after and some rebound anxiety after 3 hours or so. 

 

There is immense anhedonia and I am able to alleviate some of it when I take 100mg gabapentin, as especially more so if I take higher doses. This anti-anhedonic effect usually arrives at the 3 hour mark and lasts for 3-5 hours to varying degrees. But what else may be a suitable option?  Gabapentin develops tolerance quite quickly in it's interest restoring and euphoric benefits. Plus it almost always causes initial sedation + stupidity. 

 

I'm looking to make some orders soon and any suggestions which can help me deal w the anhedonia + allow me to handle the general anx and withdrawal would be very appreciated.  Pro-social meds would be especially lovely.
