> Desperation *is* the situation
How true, Mitch. You have been such a great provider of information and source of support to me in these "desperate" times. I appreciate it so much.I talked to the pdoc today. She said I should go back up to 500 of Neurontin and go up to 30 mgs of Ami. Didn't you tell me to do that a while back??? I should have listened and avoided all this!!! She added if I get "unstable" from too much AD, I should add a little more Li.
But I looked back in my notes, and I have *always* had dry skin issues with N above 400 mgs. And I guess 300 mgs is best skin/hair wise, but definitely not mood wise. So I was thinking I should add in another 112 eskilith in the evening to total 225mgs lithium per day and and keep the N in the 300-400 range.
I am really not crazy about increasing the ami...But perhaps it wouldn't be as bad as I invision. How high have you gone on ami? What is a typical "small" dose anyway for pain or sleep, do you know off the top of your head?Gee, any word on the pregabilin trials? Now I am interested, since I have such a love/hate relationship with N!
How is the Dex/Neurotin/Celexa/klon going? Do you still have an absence of feeling rushed? I do hope so!
Take care
Chloe
