To Scott:
Same experience here with dose increase and initial improvement, only to find the effects waning within 2-3 weeks (if I'm lucky...). It really angers me. I like how I feel initially, I think I'm in for some wonderful changes, I start working and dealing with "stuff", only to find myself right back where I started.As I was writing this something occurred to me, I think my cycling may actually be getting longer. I had an entire 48 hours on an upswing within the last 7 days, so... Could it be helping?!
To Snowie:
I don't know if I believe it's the Neurontin that's not working or unpredictable, or if it's me :-) I feel that there are days that feel much more stable than others, especially when I've just had a dose increase, and there are the other days spent drowning in the deep well....And in regard to hormonal cycles dethroning everything else, be it depression or Neurontin, yes, a very definite yes. I'm finding the whole female "cycle" a little to determined for its own good! I actually asked my doc's for Lupron, hoping for some sort of solution, but they all said "No!". Let me know if you discover anything on that front.
I've just started some intense panic and anxiety therapy which I will detail further with a new post down near the bottom of the board. Thanks for your time one and all!
