In reply to Crawling Out of My Skin!, posted by dari on June 18, 2000, at 11:43:26
> I suffer from BPII and take Neurontin 600mg daily and buspar 20mg (most days only 10mg caus' I hate it). Today, however, I am crawling out my skin. My limbs ache, I feel like I'm electrified and I'm agitated beyond reason. I feel like I could run the 100 meter in no time, and I've already taken 300mg to try to calm down with no luck. Any suggestions?
I agree with St James. Though either drug could be at fault here, I would be most suspect of the Buspar. It's just such a finicky weird drug and does dramatically different things with different people. How long have you been taking it? Why do you think this just started now? Was it the higher dose maybe?
Buspar has some interaction with dopamine receptors, in addition to other primary mechanisms. It wouldn't surpise me if what you are feeling has something to do with that dopamine interaction. Thankfully it has a short halflife, so by the time you read this hopefully things will have calmed down. In your shoes I would report this to my doctor right away.
