So, 2-4 weeks; I think I can handle that. My guess is that it may work quicker for the anxiety side of things (my reason 4 considering it + I've heard odd rpts of usefulness 4 social phobia). Lamictal's 4 the depression.
Scott, Sal, I fully intend increasing the Lamictal to aroud 300mg if necessary, but a recent brush with the rash has convinced me to keep it slow, & right now I'm *v* depressed+anxious, hence the Gabapentin *now*. Also, Klonopin seems to bolster the Lamictal somewhat & I'm hoping another, similarish AED will do likewise. I like the fact that Gabapentin won't interfere with the Lamotrigine.
Funnily enough Scott, it was while doing a srch last night that I came across an old post of yrs, quoting the URL of said case-study. It was (half) reading the accompanying PDF that prompted me to place this post! So double thanks.
My Gabapentin's in the post so I'll letcha all know how it pans out...
Ta,
Jah.
