Well, today is day 5 on 600mgs, 200-200-200, generic.
Some how, god only knows, I was able to go for a long car ride, get on a ferry boat, and spend a weekend around people at a cabin on a beautiful island.
That said. The new trend is this. I take the dose, and I get the bad depression/dysphoric feeling for about 4 hours, then it seems to wear off, and I have a bigger sense of normalcy day by day, less depression, more socialization, less paranoia. But by the time to take the next dose, I"m ready and need to.
It used to be that the med would only work for 4 hours then wear off.
Now this is the same weird physical depressive feeling i get in my head then if i were to take anything gaba related, even niacinimide.
In your opinion, is this the spike of the immediate releaase w/ the gaba giving my feeling of depression and dysphoria, then wearing off and feeling better? Even though it's wearing off after 4 hours, it's still affecting my brain, and in my blood correct?
Do you think that if I were to take the ER version, that I would either feel better, because I'm not getting a big spike, and peaks and valleys, or is there the possibility that the ER version could just be making me feel depressed much and much longer, because the gaba is being released longer?
I appreciate your help and ideas and any suggestions you can offer.
Kind regards,
Brian
