And do you think that I want my target dose to be the max, 1200 (or go by how I feel, or the 800mg bar that I saw set for BZD WD)? High doses of depakote and trileptal finally reduced my racing thoughts, although making me dumb as a sack of rocks, would have made tapering easy.
Well I don't really want to hold the Diazepam dose too long. No group would advocate holding longer than 4 weeks, but you think give my brain/body time to adjust to the Tegretol, then start the taper?
Regards,
Brian
PS- Thinking that I was going to begin dosing 600mgs today (after reading the doc that said go to 600 if u tolerate 400 fine), which might be too fast, I took 200mgs this morning (I seemed to be getting more and more relief from the Tegretol 100mgs doses, but would wear off quickly). Some WD effects have taken place, the dry mouth, some cognition/concentration problems. But my typing skills/abilities have improved since yesterday.
Should I slow it down and keep it at 400 for a week? Or try the 600 and hold that for a week? Then I can determine to go up to 800 for a week?
Thanks for you help!
Brian
