> - ScottIn retrospect, me taking it for 3 days, and experiencing some of the exact horrible same things that I did on Trileptal scared the living the crap out of me, and I said I would not go back to feeling like that again. I am afraid that if i do go back, that those similar feelings will return.
If I took it, i'd rather stay at the 3 doses. Even at 800, I think i'd feel more comfortable going 200-200-400
I've taken 2 doses of 200mgs generic today, so it's a no go for today. I have a stressful event tomorrow, so I probably don't want to switch it up tomorrow after being on generic for 4 straight days do i? Or would it perhaps aleviate things for me, or my brain might be adjusting?
Saturday is wide open for me, and Sunday I have very little affairs going on. So the weekend could be a prime trial time.
Regards,
Brian
