Hello hiram, thank's for your post...

I took the pill yesterday night, at about 9 pm. I was with a friend and at 10:30, I couldn't understand what she was saying. I was forgetting the words as I heard them. On my way back home, I felt I was so outside of myself... Today I felt pretty bad, too. I had to take some attivan, because I was so anxious and crappy inside. I think I'll stop it now. I guess I'll have to try something else... My pdoc suggests raising neurontin up to 2400 mg. I hope I won't have too much withdrawal effects for the zyp.

See ya,
Doo

The first week I took just 2.5 mgs in the evening, and I felt that it really didn't do much but make me a bit more calm, though definitely drowsy. I think it is VERY effective in controlling suicidal thoughts that are on the "raging" side, though.

More of an amphetamine type guy. Anyway, I remember feeling like a total zombie all throughout the day on 5 mgs. I went to a computer programming class (usually not too tough) and I seriously couldn't understand a single thing the prof was talking about. Just his talking or anyone elses for that matter, became like a dream or something. And I thought smoking weed made me a bit lethargic. All I wanted to do on this shit was sleep and eat. The only benefit I noticed was a great increase of ability in tolerating driveling conversation and boring tv, things that most often make me really mad, then depressed.
