I think I just posted to you on another thread. . .
My Effexor dose decreased over the past fear years, from 400 to 225mg. Maybe because I was on Neurontin too, at the time. It helped with sleep, but I wouldn't recommend strictly for that, it knocked me out---but also seems to have permanently knocked out my fibromyalgia pain. Haven't been on it for maybe a year--still pain-free.
So. . .Effexor 225mg & Dex 10mg in a.m.--and recently added 100mg Provigil, for a little frosting on the cognitive cake.. . .but geez, I am close to anorectic on it. What happens when all the Zyprexa weight is gone? Hope I can eat.
And all my Lamictal at bed, 250mg is where I maxxed out. Plus 10mg Ativan. I feel *human* when I get out of bed in the morning. What a novel idea.
Klonopin is an *excellent* drug, really more effective than Ativan, but it aggravates my ADD, I'm stumbling all the next day. I highly recommend it for sleep. . .but the benzos are like the pstims, they hit everyone differently. Take your pick!
