Hi Scott.
Have you ever had 'a lesser dosage' of a med work better for you than 'a higher dosage'? If so, what kind, and do you know why?
Also, could a person develop 'a high tolerance' to all medication in general? If so, would a different way of administration be helpful?
I was taking Lyrica 75mg h.s. & 'feeling emotionally good' plus 'not desperately craving 2nd daily dose oxycodone'. When increased to 150mg h.s. tho', felt uncomfortable emotionally and physically.
(That's when I wrote the, too long, rambling, freakin' life story of a post! OMG, that was ridiculous! Poor Holly. Sorry Holly! My posts aren't always like that. Don't blame U for not reading S. Don't be scared Holly to write to me Holly; I won't do it again.)
I'll give Lyrica dosage increase another shot when not on stress overload.
One more query S. Valium pulled me out of that nervous breakdown last year. Do you think I'll always need a long-acting benzo? I ask because I'd switched to Xanax and a week ago had the onset of the same symptoms which preceded the NB, but it was alongside a stress overload. Luckily had Valium and pulled up and am leveling out!
I'm thinking the hospital docs might have told me what to expect after having that NB. Tho', these are the same two docs that looked at each other and chuckled when I asked them, "Exactly what is a nervous breakdown?"
I better do some googling.
I see my P next Fri. Hope will work w/ me using 'both benzos', as over the past year on Valium alone, was becoming so sedentary and napping all the time.
nite, cf
