> If you an epilleticic, or have had seizures before, it is reccomended not to exceed 1200mg/day.
i thought gabapentin helped prevent seizures ?
> I sometimes go up to 2000 at once if it's really important. I'm going to try to start taking just 400 every 4-6 hours this week and see how it goes. The only problem is I have class at
so you're thinking 400 mg 5 times a day... or about 2000 mg a day? ... gee that doesn't sound like too much as you mention later -->
>but the 500mg I took and got virtigo for an hour over when I first took it is much different from the 800mg that doesn't do anything for me anymore.
i'm confused... 800 mg doesn't do anything for you, but you're thinking of taking only 400 mg now?
>9, and there's a hottie in it I can't be anxious around... so I try to set my alarm at 5am to take 800-1600 and then go back to sleep. But I'd rather not have such a high dose.... when you sleep your body gets rid of the sedative side effects but not the anxiolytic effects? interesting
> My doctor, who's extremely hesitant about Klonopin, seemed to develop some "Rapport" (the goal of any psychiatrist, as they're taught in school) when I mentioned I'll just continue to take N, and if there's ever a serious function I can't be anxious over, I'll combine it with a low dose of Klonopin.
Haha ... as a typical anxiety sufferer, i have about 4 months worth of klonopin saved up :)
don't think i've taken it more than perhaps once in the past 10 months since starting gabapentin
.... is it reasonable to expect to be able to take enough to always be in a state where you are able to approach beautiful women with only moderate anxiety (the amount a normal person would feel)?
that's why i like gabapentin over klonopin.. doesn't put me in a stupor.. and i feel like i can keep taking it without having to worry about tolerance creeping up on me
