> My Pdoc took me off the EMSAM, i just wasn't feeling very good on it towards the end, and i was having insomnia problems. He put me on Zoloft 100 mgs. daily per my request. So now i am on Zoloft 100 mgs., Lyrica 600 mgs., Klonopin 1 mg. b.i.d., and Trazodone 200 mgs. at bedtime. And honestly this is the best i have felt in a year.
> How are you doing Scott?Not too well. I tried taking sibutramine 20mg. It made me feel worse after two weeks, and I still haven't fully recovered. I stopped taking it five days ago.
I discussed trying Lyrica with my doctor, and he gave me a prescription for 25mg t.i.d. He has a few patients taking 300mg. I haven't started it yet. I didn't want to start taking it while I was still feeling worse from the sibutramine.
Did you ever try Neurontin?

Me too!
Stay well.
