> > Jah...thanks. I'm going to discuss Neurontin, Nardil, gabapentin, lamictal, Sulpiride, and klonopin as soon as I can see a doctor...which will hopefully be tuesday. I read one of your threads on another post and hope that you're feeling better and taking care of yourself.Thanks. Just riding out the storm;-)
> > lemme toss another question out...how do these drugs make you feel physically? What symptoms do you find Sulpiride (or whichever other sp drug) most successfully relieves?Sar, the Sulpiride helps with all the s.p. symptoms equally (tho' not completely). Paranoid convictions (that you're the object of other's attn) & inner panic are mitigated, as are physical symptoms such as palpitations & adrenaline rushes. I feel calmer & more @ ease with people.
I think people mention 'severe' s.p. because it's more likely to be TR & so sufferers are attracted to this brd. The fact that yours is 'only' moderate, I think, increases the odds of successful resolution with meds. However I'm not so sure s.p. is more easily treatable (than depr.). For one thing there's a paucity of rsch concerning it compared to depression.
Let us know how it goes on Tuesday (&, if he hasn't already, don't be surprised if yr doc pushes an SSRI-std treatment-on you!)
