Hello,
My name is Barica and I am new to this forum. Not 100 percent sure how it all works, so will say sorry in advance for maybe messing up!
I'm a 'panic-attacker' with anticipatory anxiety, plus, I am a diabetic.
I have been on Zoloft for the panic attacks for the past 7 years, very, very low dose. It pretty much nips the panic attacks in the bud, not to say I don't get them.. I do! However, not as bad.
I take Valium for the anticipatory anxiety, again a low dose and used sparingly.Due to my diabetes I have neuropathy (sp). My Doctor suggested yesterday, that I take Neurontin, 300 mg, at bedtime, and after a few days increase it to 600mg. Brave old me too it at bedtime last night and wonder of all wonders, I woke up this morning! (I don't like to take new medication) I am sure it is my imagination, but I really think the pain I get from the neuropathy was not nearly as bad last night.
Now I am going to have to wrestle with the problem of increasing the dosage to 600mg in a few days...Does anyone know why I have to take it at bedtime?
Does Neurontin help in anyway with the panic attacks? Anxiety?Hope you all have a wonderful day!
Peace.
