Was just looking at the reports forcasting the release of pfizers pregablin, indicated for anxiety states, pain and seizures. It's hard to find any statement that delineates whether people gain tolerance to it, if it causes retrograde anmesia like the benzo's. I know it can cause sedation but should be less than neurontin. Anyone have any information on this drug and it's release in Canada or the US. An application for it's approval is being put into the FDA in fall of this year, how long would it usually take to be approved. I emailed a prominent researcher who told me he had seen "amazing things with pregabalin and anxiety states".
nardil 30, Klonopin 7, Zyprexa 10

Hi.I can't ever seem to remember the difference between retrograde and anterograde amnesia. Can you refresh my memory?
By the way, I just wanted to point out that your dosage of Nardil is very low when treating depression. The range is usually between 45-75mg. May I ask what you are taking it for?
Thanks.

Can you refresh my memory?Hi I wasn't sure either once you asked so I looked this up online, retrograde amnesia is amnesia occuring before a certain point in time, anterograde amnesia is amnesia the comes after a trauma, or in this case exposure to drug, (clonazepam). Clonazepam is cited as causing anterograde amnesia I believe, so it causes memory deficits in information aquired directly after the pill is taken. It also makes cognition fuzzy and causes fatigue - a real triumph oh well, they're coming out with so many new compounds in the near future, lots of reason to hope.

For extreme anxiety I originally moved the dosage up to 90mg and got very depressed, I find taking 30 mg for two days then 45mg every third has worked so far, (just started this about four days ago).

Amnesia from Klonopin, as well as cognitive decrement and somnolence, tends to reside after one takes it on a regular regimen. I take it 1mg 3x/day, and don't notice any of these effects. I did when I took it as needed now and then. The only problem is after a few months 1mg doses give me less relief, so I think it's time to augument with something.

I haven't noticed any cognitive issues with Klonopin, other than that I can think more clearly without the anxiety. I did have a bit of this in the first week or so, but it disappeared quickly.
