I would be curious to hear about your Somatization Disorder if you would be willing to share it. It is a misunderstood disorder that is just beginning to have fMRI studies and the concept of malingering has been rewritten, because the majority of people with Somatiform disorders do not want them. I can sure say I don't like to have little control over how brightness and contrast appear to me.
Neurontin is among the soup of agents prescribed -- the principal active agent(s) I believe are Valium and Seroquel (dampening of D2) for me though I have adjunctive medication as well. Polypharmacy is not fun but sometimes is necessary, especially since I have MDD concomitant either related to depression about the illness and how few people out there have anything close to me, and just general depression.-- Jay
