Thanks for asking. Wish I could report some positive results. Been at 30mg. for five days. After the initial small lift I have started to fade again. The side effects are also a bit different this time around. More somatic in addition to the confusion. This could be from the addition of the 50mg of Zonegran. Hard to tell. This is a low dose though I am very sensitive to most meds.
Not much left to try with Marplan, at least with regard to dosing strategies. For now I am stopping the Zonegran and raising the Mar to 35mg.
Hard to decide what to do. I know 40 is too much. I also may not have given 30 enough time. With several weeks under my belt I thought I would have seen more by now on this dose with less side effects, particularly as it's the second time up the ladder. If 35 doesn't provide some relief over the next week or so,(before possibly becoming over medicated)I may have to move on.
It's been a real teaser. Hope it works out for you. Keep in touch. Phil
