Guess could comment a bit on Neurontin and Lyrica a bit.
Looked thru my file. I always write a word or more, describing how I felt, etc. after taking a med on the label or description. All I wrote is 'good' re: Neurontin. Can't recall dosage. Can't recall why dc'd it.
And, I took Lyrica also. More recently.
W/ Lyrica I felt an immediate lift upon awakening after taking 75mg at sleep, I mean right b4 head hits pillow sleep.
So tried increase a bit. Didn't work. Taking more felt as if it lessened the feeling good. I stayed on it for quite a while.
For whatever reason, I dc'd it also, just recently. Just this week and even tonight was thinking mayB should go back on the 75mg h.s.
I've never been w/o a benzodiazepine accompanying the above, or an AD or anti-psychotic or mood stabilizer, except one time. That was 3-4wks before I had the breakdown in 2005. I was treated in the hospital w/ Valium 10mg 3x a day. If much more time had elapsed w/o receiving this, the Valium, I speculate I'd had suffered much worse damage.
One symptom preceding my breakdown was steadily increasing physical weakness, especially weakness in legs.
Another thing during the time of the breakdown; my weight fluctuated by 10lbs up and down.
I'll look through this pile of medication paperwork again in a.m. MayB more info re: Neurontin, or something which may be helpful to you.
I'm sorry I didn't see this thread earlier this Saturday.
Will read on.
