hey man. Sorry about your experience--I've noticed that a lot of people in the mental health field, docs, nurses, what have you can be completely unprofessional, callous, and downright mean. Plus, neurontin sucks--it doesnt seem to work terribly well, especially when you look at the very few GOOD (read: independent, non-industry funded) studies on its efficacy in mental health. You might derive some benefit from Gabitril, but to me it seemed kind of neuronin-ish in terms of its effects. Did you doc explain to you why you could ONLY take Paxil CR? Generic Paxil is available, its cheap, and its effective. Everybody has known that some anti-depressants have short half-lives--paxil, celexa, etc.--for a while. When I did Paxil, I just broke the tab (it was scored) and dosed 2X daily. My shrink was impressed, and it worked nicely. Good luck!
