i don't know that my new med is working out so well
Edited on Sun Sep-21-08 12:36 PM by kagehime
i've only been on it (neurontin) for about three weeks, so i know it's kind of hard to tell, but ever since i started taking it i've been hypersensitive and cry at the drop of a hat. it's not a depressive episode because i feel find otherwise, it's just a lot of crying.

there's been a lot of environmental stress and i'm wondering if that has anything to do with it. i started on a 150 mg dose twice a day, but i bumped it up to 300 twice a day (my doc told me when she wrote the rx that that was ok if i felt it was necessary).

i saw the doc last week and she agreed with me that i should try it for a bit longer and we'll reassess it when i see her next month.

i really hate this med roulette stuff x(

1. i have been on this and lyrica,
and the first week or two were different. but after a little while, things settled down.
i had really deep crazy technicolor dreams restarting the lyrica after being off it for several days. and feeling a little giddy.
but it all settled down after about a week.
