> Ace................Well Ace...Im sorry Neurontin isn't cutting it...In my opinion, I would stay at a lower dose, for a longer period of time..just a thought..
FWIW, I took Neurontin (1800mg) for a few years (because of epilepsy)....but More recently (several months ago) I combined 1800mg with 2mg of Klonopin and found it REALLY increased the "pro-social" effect of Klonopin... (which in my opinion still pales in comparison to the pro-social/social phobia killing effects of Nardil)
Something you may consider is Zonegran...it has some effect on dopamine levels.
I have heard of some people having success with the atypical antipsychotic quetiapine (seroquel)
and even the AD Remeron...I forget, have you considered therapy as an adjunct to your regimen of medications?
