oh god. my message was lost somehow. :( oh god this is so frustrating. it takes so much effort to do anything. just to write. its like every day is this sabotage.
i really really really really follow his impression of how cognitive defecit/motivational problems work in CFS... he was saying it was overstimulation without any salience. that could even explain my horrible apathy and anhedonia, but even more so, the fact that anything you do will result in the need to rest... and thats the way EVERYTHING IS IN MY LIFE. its just one huge rest period that i cant get out of. EVERYTHING is a huge huge task. decisions are pure torture. and this may also explain why stimulants are so ineffective and usually just make me feel so anxious and angry (i destroyed an expensive cellphone on ritalin once, and seriously damaged another, oh and im sure some of these holes in my walls were during one of those periods :( )
did neurontin help you (esp. on the cognitive/motivational front)???
should i be exploring other drugs?
verapamil and nimodipine arent mentioned much in 'tuning the brain', is there another book i should be reading? i actually have access to neurontin right this second... do you have any idea what dose i should start on? on what dose and for how long before i should know if im having an effect or not?and if neurontin doesnt work are there any other drugs i should be reading about?
