Snowie,
Sorry, I haven't responded since I posted my original message. I have been keeping up on yours and Barbaracat's experiences. Let me know how the Xanax XR works for you. I tried it but my doctor wasn't very familiar with it and only gave me 1mg to take once a day. After about 10-12 hours I really crashed on it and had to still take the regular Xanax.I haven't tried the Neurontin yet. My husband had a heart attack and was just released from the hospital last week. I don't like to try new meds unless I know I can take them on a weekend where I don't have anything else I have to do in case I get a bad reaction to them. And that just hasn't happened for me in a long time, there is always something that HAS to be done.
You mentioned you open the capsule and pour a dose into a drink. Does this make it work faster? or better? You stated that you get immediate relief from the Neurontin if you don't take it on a regular basis, but do you get that crashing feeling when you come down off of it, or is it just gradual.
Thanks again and I enjoy reading all of your posts.
Dee
