> Some questions here. How many samples of the 150mg XR did you use before you started the 50mg x3 dose? Perhaps the side effects kicked in and it's just a coincidense? Your sweet spot might be in the 75-100mg range dose?* I took the samples of 150mg XR for 4 nights, after taking 50mg XR for 2 weeks, prior to that.
At 50mg I still had some symptoms, including insomnia and zero side effects.
At 150mg XR in a single tab, I slept great and continued to improve (agitated depression & anxiety pretty much gone, after 4 days on it).
After 3 x 50mg XR tabs, I slept great for 8 hours, but feel like I could have slept for another 12 hours, if my alarm hadn't woken me. In fact I feel mostly asleep even though I'm awake!
Still feel the good effects noted, but it's hard to tell with all the brain fog & slowness.I should say that I've also had my Trileptal switched to Neurontin (3x300mg daily) due to side effects. I've been on Neurontin for 10 days. (Had been on Trileptal for 2 weeks prior).
I guess that is a lot of changes for my poor body to adjust to! I've never been on either class of drugs before.
