> Perhaps that's just me, however, my doc had me start with 300 mg three x day and to increase up to 900 mg 3x day. I just started the 900 mg, but only twice a day. I really hate becoming acclimated to what seems to me a high dose. But
ah that's not so high... i'd definately try 3600 mg myself since i want neurontin to work for me (so i don't have to go onto a drug with side effects) ...
> Oh, lucky you! I love that sparkling, glimmering euphoria. Everything is delightful and feels so damn witty and efferverscent. But
actually it's more like wanting to go things than actually feeling happy.... but not agitation-like doing things... though i find if i add neurontin sometimes my desire to move around and do something changes into more of a calm peaceful alertness ... yeah, it's only if i actually use that need to do things to socialize etc that i actually get the euphoria out of the things i do...
>tend to think I'm beyond the wisdom of staying sober and shutting up and have ended up in some dicey situations. Besides, the highs are always
.... yeah ... well it's like you can't pay attention to your environment you are so busy... so much is going on on the inside ... so you figure, why bother to worry about what people think? which is perfectly rational... because you don't know that you're going to come down --- and start being hyper sensitive again
>stay in our bodies, perhaps that enjoyable high can be sustained? Maybe not as intensely, but it would be nice to hang on to some of the magic without spinning out into disorganization and crashing into bleakness.
yeah i think some people are chronically hypomanic... and i wonder if i can accomplish this with antidepressants...
however.. i do know that the average person is pretty damn happy... now that i'm starting to remember what it's like :) ... so i'd be glad to start with this feeling... and then take small risks later ...
