> Okay, okay I know I should probably run to a different benzo-friendly doctor, but I'm still trying to work with him on this- is there anything experimental left to avoid a benzo? I've tried Neurontin, Gabitril, Celexa, Paxil, Buspar (alone), Propananol. Neurontin works I guess, if by working you mean dulling me like it's some antiphsychotic (not that I've tried one).

You might try some Depakote. It boosts whole-brain GABA. Maybe 250-500mg/day and give it a week or two. You may get a little cognitive dysfunction, but not as much as a benzo or Topamax, and it won't wallop you like Neurontin can (you also shouldn't need to take it[depakote] more than twice daily). It might work well with your stims.
