Does anyone know anything about Gabapentin for Benzodiazapine withdrawal?

Swim has a friend who has a legitimate need for Clonazepam, but for certain reasons due to his current circumstances, combined with his paranoia, he obtains them illegally. He does not abuse them though but just uses them as one would be directed by a physician to treat his anxiety. His supply is about to dry up though and he has come off them OK cold turkey but it was rough for him. SWIM knows from some online reading that Gabapentin (brand name Nuerontin), has been used with some success in easing withdrawal from benzos and alcohol. Swim wants to know if anyone here has some practical experience and perhaps could answer questions, because Gabapentin is available to SWIM's friend.
