I react exactly this way to Parnate when I am not combining it with other drugs.

How precious is a single day of remission. I try to keep close to me the memories of being in remission so that I am that much sure of the biological nature of my condition, and that life is worth living when one emerges from the depths.

Definitely.

I will keep this in mind. It sounds like what memantine did to me for the 6 weeks I took it.

Sounds good to me. How do you feel that gabapentin is helping? If you experience an inadequate response to it, don't forget about pregabalin (Lyrica). It operates on the same calcium channel receptor subsection (alpha-2-delta).
The exchange of information and ideas on Psycho-Babble is invaluable.
Thanks.
