> hey bro. no offense but here your wrong. i do well on the ssri's. sorry you dont. plus dont come across like you know more than me ok? ive been in the hospital 8 times since i was born. bi-polar wise and i have every medical web site and i sit down and talk with my psych and we enjoy the time. PREGABALIN will be a blockbuster i will get on in 3 months.
> rossI don't pretend to know more than anyone, I'm sorry if the tone of my post lead you to believe that.
It's sad that you have been hospitalized 8 times; I'm not going to start a "hospital stay", "who is the sickest" competition with you, or anyone for that matter. I was just speaking my mind (or typing as the case my be)
I thought the point of this forum was to exchange ideas/thoughts gained through PERSONAL experience. I thought I was doing that.
Having "every" medical web-site is of no importance to me, as is a psychiatrists's explaination of side-effects (since 99% of the time, they have never taken the medications the prescribe) I have been on 4 out of the 7 you plan to be on.
I hope Pregabalin is a blockbuster for you, and I hope you get better (as I have) I am confused that you have singled out pregabalin as a drug that I am somehow "against" (for lack of a better word)...My point was that, I can assure you that any combination of 7 medications is going to cause more side-effects (including the sexual side-effects you experienced with other meds) than the medication you quit...And you did quit an effective medication because of side-effects (sexual)
So, maybe I do know at least one thing more than you, I know what it's like to no longer struggle with depression and social anxiety, and be medication free.
Again, I'm sorry if anything I have expressed to you is offensive.
also...responding to your post about topamax, yes, for me it caused impotence, and dysnomia so severe I was almost a mute, and lowering the dosage from 400 mgs back to 200mgs relieved these symptoms, but did not prevent me from having seizures.
good luck
