Haha..Yes, we do keep bumping into each other. Your inattentive ADD is very interesting. There seems to be some conncetion in all of this. The doc's don't believe I have it, but I disagree somewhat. There are too many symptoms that apply to me. I also love reading your posts on the subject.
The Neurontin does seem to be the best med I've tried so far. It takes about an hour to kick in and lasts about 5 hours or so. I may play around with the dosage times a little, but every 4 hours seems to do get the best results. Jeez, I don't know what a higher dosage would do. Your 800mg is quite a bit more compared to my 300. The only prob that has came up is the insomnia. The doc said it would knock me out...ha! It takes something 'extra strengh' to put me out!
Does it help you sleep? Mine wears off before I go to bed, but the stimulation would keep me awake anyway. I just stopped the damn Remeron, which helped me sleep, but I felt I had been sedated for long enough. Do you have any reccomendations for a good sleep aid that doesn't have a long half-life that which you a zombie in the morning? God, it would be nice to find just one med that would take care of all of this, wouldn't it?
