> I didn't taper off slowly enough (nrntn maded me forget words). I had some hardcore nightmares and started biting peoples heads off at the least provocation. It's the only thing that's been effective for my mood swings. lowered dose and stopped smoking weed; thinking a little more clearly.

Or maybe I'm just not that into her...;)If your current "anti-convulsant" helps soften your mood peaks and lows, but causes you to ache or show symptoms of fibromialgia, neurontin also acts as a pretty potent chronic pain solution (however, it does not relieve pain like an opiate or anti-inflamatory-- steroidal or not).
I have felt pain in my back for 20 of my 33 years. Sitting at a computer, one can easily come aware of those little areas of tension or mis-alignment.
The first line of action, is to let that pain motivate you to adjust your posture. I advocate awareness, not pain killers and muscle relaxers. It was probably spaced out slouching, anyway, that helped much of it along. Pain is the last line messenger to your conscious mind that you want to receive. It's much better to have the habit of checking one's own posture regularly.
In any case, the messages my back is sending lately are not blaring, and do not wake me up before I'm ready to get up. Awareness and managed pain make starting new habits more easy. Make spinal awareness one of yours...
