Most people know i have been posting my struggles with parnate,as usual i find a combo that works and like parnate did alone the combo fails on me.
Well a xanax/klonopin combo was what i thought was gold,till this past week where as ive been in a major major hole.Anyway i also had luck with low doses of xyrem also,but opposed to pooping out what was happening with that was i was getting high at even low doses,and im done with messing around,so i stopped,i dont want to get high,i dont want anything like that.
Anyway since my doc kinda screwed me over,i have been brain storming,trying to find out why the combo once worked,so i stopped or cut back DRASTICALY on xanax/klonopin and got BACk out of the pharmacy my depakote which i labled not effective.
The first two nights on it i again felt very flat,however it provided anxiety relief whiich is fine for now.
SO HERES THE KICKER,i recently added the xyrem in low doses again,and even at mildly high doses what i notice is this.......
It appears for whatver reason depakote is preventing xtrem from getting me high,now could this be just a placebo affect,possable but i gradualy raised the dose at night to see and still at most i get a little light headed where as normaly xyrem would have me feeling yucky.So now i am on a lowered parnate dose since i have to wait for my new script,a small close to non exsisent benzo dose,and depakote/xyrem.
Any theorys on why depakote could be having that affect,im not complaining its exactly what i want is to take xyrem minus the stupour effect.I know it sounds bad,but i really am being careful with my meds,i have my parents involved so im not holding the meds,and i dont have access to it like candy so thats one good thing,im tired of the games i want my life and i want to be treated seriously no more indulging in euphorias.
Anway this is working right now,day 2 anyway and im at most glad the depakote seems to have taken away any urge for a benzo,i take only partial xanax now no klonopin i was worried for a sec when i was dosing them.
So any ideas on why are welcome,i have no clue id imagine depakote being a gaba med would make xyrewm more sedating but it does not.
