In reply to Neurontin, Lyrica, and/or Cymbalta, posted by fairywings on June 25, 2006, at 8:32:39
I asked for Lyrica and instead was put on a mega dose of Nuerontin,...3 800 mg tabs a day.
I remeber seeing tv ads about Nuerontion being in lawsuits due it increasing depression and suicidal ideation.
I remeber saying to myself that although i dident really care for it,i dident regard it as that bad.
Well i failed to realise for pain and mood lots of doctors will bring this up very high into the gram doses,and a lot of compliants were from people on such.
Well even though i felt totaly wrong doing it,i listened to my doc as i sometimes do,and as i initialy felt in my gut that dose was absurd for me,.....in a matter off days i felt totaly whacked,depression totaly different and unique,not good.
I have broought it back down to a more as needed dose accompanying a benzo occasionaly which is how i found Nuerotion to work best,its a drug that really seems to have a accumaltion effect.
I guess my point is if ur going to be on a high dose off it,be careful cause there is a quick false euphoira that is very very quickly followed by depression,and u might not realise at that time the high dose Nuerontin could be the culprit,id start slow on it.
