>>>>. so yeah, if there was a longer acting anxiolytic, "hook me up with some o' dat shit" :) :)
lol- I'll see what my doc says this wed, maybe he has an idea for some special drug or something. I'm thinking no matter what it is, I'm going to try to eventually get a high dose on it. I've read several reports, especially one on a reversible MAOI, that often SP requires more dosing than what the drug is regularly indicated for in other disorders.
The movie Awakenings comes to mind... wasn't that like a million mg of Vitamin C? Or maybe something else, I was like 7 when I watched it...
Hey, maybe you should up your dose of MAO, why not? it's all good, you're already restricting your diet anyway... I just learned raspberries made the list... arrg. my favorite fruit.
It's funny, I use to think I was too good for drugs, and now I'm trying to dope myself up in a frantic frenzy or something. It's exciting to find out how to control my problems, and tweak myself up... but as snobby as we can be about Neurontin's effects wearing off/coming on, it's still a sweet drug when it's on.
I remember the first time I playing with Neurontin dosing. I took 2000mg at once to be safe, even paced around for 2 hours, and then went to a kegger with the idea my Neurontin would keep me dry.
Apparently I didn't realize I should have waited 3:05 hrs. (according to my time records since then- the stuff comes on like a switch, too) Well, several drinks later, I passed out and learned I was some crazy freak on the stuff the next day... I found Klonopin is great, but it does require me to mix a single drink with it to make me talk to mates at a party. But at least it lets me remain sober, so long as I drink, or something.
Boy, this is confusing stuff, I hope those drug companies finally come out with short-acting benzo replacers soon enough. The market would die for it, and they know it. I wish I knew when they plan to release that stuff. Someone else said something about how they hope drug companies got tired of devloping me-too SSRIs... whoever makes the first benzo replacer would obviously catch a larger market, since benzos sell more than SSRIs.
Imagine popping a pill, and 20 minutes later you don't have any social anxiety and can talk, and it's as safe as ritalin... gosh, all drugs should be modeled after ritalin, minus the bitter flavor and anxiety-invoking stuff.
