Of course the shrink there said there's no way it could be helping me, says you're ocd, take ssris, although trileptal got me out of the house and tapered much quicker. I still headaches and naseaua at my 150mg doses, but trust me, worth helping tapering, and depression.

> Ed, i just got up to 300mgs of lyrica, how quickly can i get to 600mgs? I tolerate it fine, no adverse effects, and going up fast doesn't seem to bother me. Although it helps anxiety, sleep, positive/happy mood, and was helping interdose wd (which doesn't seem like a prob now with diaz), I don't know if it has the affinity or possibility to help get off valium like trileptal does.

I think you should try 150mg twice or three times a day for the Trileptal. That makes sense.
Try to get out of the house where possible. It will help you.
