I don't know how to move threads, so I'm forwarding this for cockeyed from the Substance Use board.... Can you guys help him out?
-------------------------
In the past 2 weeks I've had serious pain and weakness in my back and legs, so much so that I've had trouble walking. My therapist has reired, my shrink is on along vacation and several old friends died suddenly. I went back into the black dog phase of Bi-pol. I increased on my own the dose of Celexa to 40mgs. and kept the neurontinin the same, 2@300mgs x2 a day. if I forgot I tokk four at a time. I've read my stuff and noted that Celexa can have such nasty side effects. I also take a slew of Cardiology meds but am sick of listing them. One however, sotolal, I have to take and that can have similar side effects to the above. Anybody out there in howdy-doody land have any experience with this stuff, i.e. celexa combined with neurontinin. My cardiologist is also on vacation but his office PA said that I've probably become used to sotalol and that is probably no the culprit. I'm going to cut C from 40 to 10, on my own. Damn, I feel like a jerk but there's nobody to contact and I'm hoping somebody can give me advice. Depression is it's own hell, but this leg stuff is something that has me scared. I've always been able to get around. Sorry to be such a weenie but man, it hurts. Cockeyed.
