My depression has gone away, but it's been replaced by HIGH anxiety...I would much rather be depressed, I can handle that so much better. I am weaining off of both Neurontin and Elavil. The Neurontin b/c it just doesn't work anymore for anxiety, and Elavil b/c I've had lots of bad psych effects from it..it even made me psychotic, paranoia and hallucinations. All to be replaced my Miltown, whiich honestly barely has an effect on my damn depression. Oh, and starting Lexapro too b/c it has halped my anxiety in the past.
But I just *can't* follow the tapering plan my pdoc made for me yesterday. I've had to take a little extra Elavil already, and now I fear I'm gonna have to take more Neurontin too. I fear I may never get off of them both.
Maybe it's just too much for my system to withdraw 2 drugs at once. I'd most like to get off the Elavil first, so I can use my full dose of Lexapro.
I don't know; I don't think clearly when I feel like this...I HATE IT. Anxiety is worst f*ck*ng thing in the world.
Just wondered if any of you all had any thoughts or advice. And one more thing; benzos are out for me I'm way too tolerant and would need to use doses too high for them to help. :( Thanks,
