> - ScottSine i was already on Nuerontion,i requested the dose that mr crazy horse recomended most likly to avoid the stupour and create more of a energetic feeling,i believe he said this was of 600 mg.
So i ,with insert in hand,requested 300 mg twice daily.Of course i have half that,im not surprised.
She was clueless on it,made a phone call to my pharmacy and he basicaly choose the dosing for me.
I already have a noticable effect from it,i will post a seperate post when i have more time to sit and type properly,now i have morning errands.
But im just curious how its combination with parnate will work out,i dont believe many people used this combo,rather more with ssris,crazy horse if im correct used marplan but being on that myself have to say there is still a difference,as you know scott parnate is a drug very much in its own world,now i have the task of seeing if
A Lyrcia even helpsB If it works well with parnate,if so which one to use as a primary,in this should doses be scaled
c Should they be taken at the same time,or spread apart.
I have no problem getting off parnate comptly,it will be hard as i have a mind set when i feel ok a small parnate dose will set me perfect,i see this task i have to overcome.
I know the above i should be consulting with my docter on,but,and i know many will think im wrong for saying this,but i truly feel from my heart that she has no clue.
I will work with people that can help i feel,like my parents,who i asked to remind me to take it slow,and just ride it out time is what i have.
Last your right about one thing,i was in what could be said my worst day and i dragged myself to that appt.I knew if i dident id regret it dearly.
Sorry for typos,im in a extreme rush this morning,but i wanted to touch ground here,and thank the circle of lyrcia users recently for even presenting me with a new option,scott i also from you have options but i will not even think of them now and lay them far far back on the burner,but feel better knowing i have something cooking.I will leave a more specific post on my exact reaction to my first dose as it was significant soon.
