Yeah, I think it's worth a shot, since nothing else is helping or working. Although it's heir apparent, gabapentin did nothing for me, I would hope that lyrica might act somewhat similar to what it had done for me previously. I bipolar doc here had had a few patients that were soley taking it and doing ok.
Seeing as having no clue what i have now, perhaps schizo/psychosis induce from benzo cold turkey, maybe it can help.
Also seeing as I'm already getting interdose wd from xanax 3 times a day, it seems that it's time for good ole diazepam. Hope it doesn't make me as depressed and irritable as usual, and i hope lyrica may help with that.
I once did decent on lyrica plus a stimulant, but it seems like a stimulant would be a no go during benzo wd huh? I do have provigil.
Last year, was doing a slow painful wd from diazepam, then cracked and went back on, depressed that i lost 5 months of tapering, i opted for detox, came out crazy, tried to go back on, and was still in wd, and it seemed as if i was having "benzo sensitivity", a psychotic toxic reaction to the librium.
I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis around xmas, and i don't know how much that is playing into it.
All that i know is that i could not be more crazy and sick:( Oh how i miss those days of sanity.
I sure wish that the trileptal did not make me hypomanic, which i like, then hit a huge snag of depression, and then some semi normalcy. But my chemical sensitivity seems even too high for that. All though the other night as the horrible conversations ran rampant, it helped seem to slow them.
Thanks ed
