> Chloe, have you tried Klonopin??Yes, about 10 years ago. I found I couldn't function! I didn't stick with it very long, because I think I was totally knocked out from it.
People on this board seem to really have success with it. But I find no reason to switch from something that is working and has worked for years. I do hate the stigma associated with valium, however!I emailed my pdoc about the topamax and when I got home after a long day, she wrote back that she called it in! She said it has AD and antimanic qualities. And is sedating. Sounds too good to be true.
However, I am afraid to try it so soon. I still have Geodon swimming around in me. And I want to get my Celexa back up to 1.5 mgs or so again. I just have a lot equilibrating to do before I add another agent...
I am hoping my mood stays as good as it is now. But I think I am just so relieved to be stopping the AP, that it has made me slightly elated! That mouth stuff was (IS, of course I still have it...and will for a while I am sure) scary and was making me obsess about everything I did with my tongue and lips. Ugh. I also started having a little galactorrea. Can you believe it? At the smallest dose possible too. When the drug works, I get the horrible side effects. NOT FAIR.
I am glad you are having some success with just neurontin/dep/klon. It's a constant balancing act. How are things without the Zoloft?
Thanks for the info on Top.
Chloe, the guinea pig :)
