I actually posted a very similar response a few days ago to someone else asking about celexa's workings.
I think we, hopefully, realize this board is therapeutic as much as it is communicative or informational. We really just throw ideas out there, experiment with these ideas, and tell others how our experiments worked. Our doctors really can't predict much in the realm of anxiety, as one medical association pointed out and hoped for progress in this area.
I'm pretty good on Neurontin, but I haven't tried it in classes yet, and fear I'll have to get off it to concentrate better.
I'm taking a public speaking course this semester, I determined that today. I am determined to prove to myself that with enough work on meds and general "happy thoughts" to myself I can prove that I can actually speak in public smoothly.
If I can speak in public without anxiety, I can really prove to myself I haven't let this thing knock me down completely.
Neurontin does that, for sure- I just want something that doesn't go away so quickly... although in the case of N, I sort of appreciate "sobering up" to it so I can think clearly when I don't need it... in the same way I (and I'm sure everyone else) wants to sober up to think straight after drinking... it's the same reason I switched back to old man ritalin... it turns off when I'm done using it, basically.
