Hey Ed,
yep got your mail, will text you my number over the next few days, when your phone is recharged. Would be nice to have someone to correspond with.
I think the next time i see my GP i will ask to get a referral, im sick of him looking at me as if im doing him some kind of disservice when all i want is to get better, is that too much to ask???
So it appears i was right in my thinking that Lexapro was Escitalopram, i just can't keep up with the generic and marketed names all the time. TOO CONFUSING.
I am VERY interested in the Pregabalin, as i have always been interested in Neurontin but my doctor just gets irritated when i come at him with names of medication. (he was only too happy to give me the Largactil btw, had me on that with my very first prescription along with the Citalopram. I didn't take it too long, not for any adverse reaction but it just felt like a sugar pill and i figured, whats the point.)
I have been doing some research on the Pregabalin this morning, i hear many people have a good anxiety effect, both social and general, on Neurontin so if Pregabilin (Lyrica??) is just a more powerful version, it definitely sounds like its worth a good shot.
The Librium is becoming increasingly more ineffective. I took a dose about two hours ago because my morning dose hadn't seemed to even rid me of my physical symptoms today, alas even the second dose hasn't made any headway. Thinking about taking my third of four doses at 15:30 can't be a good thing and is only going to set me up for problems im sure. I will continue but my confidence in either the med or the dosing is waning. The rebound anxiety seems more uncomfortable that just the irritation and agitation i feel when off Meds. My palpiatations are under control however, so im glad about that.
Anyhoo, i will persevere, and i need to make some big decisions over the coming weeks, its pointless to consider them now really because maybe as the Librium builds up in my system it will all work itself out.
Hope all is well, and have a good day.
(Oh im from Birmingham by the way. Cheers. Dan.)
