Nick,
Thanks for the reply. I was taking Neurontin to replace the Paxil I was taking after they pulled Paxil CR. It worked fine for a couple of weeks then it/I bottomed out. Honestly, I'm not sure what my dosage was other than 3 x's per day until my nurse practitioner upped my dosage to include an additional pill at night. That made it worse. So when I called her back I found out she was on vacation til July 5 so I dealt with another nurse who had me stop taking it during the day. She didn't tell me why until I demanded to be seen and she chided me for not waiting until next week because she was weaning me from it. I'm really disillusioned with the people I am dealing with. I found out she was discussing my case with a Psychiatrist who I had never seen. I was having a hard time taking something 3 x's per day so I wasn't very dilligent anyway. After I found out she was taking me off, without my knowledge and no means to alleviate the distress I was in, I said to hell with it and just stopped taking it. I am not a neophyte to depression or the various meds being used for it. On the contrary, I've been dealing with this for 20 years and have taken various tricyclics and SSRIs. I'm over all of this. Flip.
