However the buzz is the first to stop,and you soon begin not even to notice you are taking it,the anxiety relieaf usualy stays but thats when for me anyway the depression slowly sets in,but again this is with Nuerontinon and myself.In fact i knew a lot of GHB users who thought they found a legal safer alternative when the buzz factor was noticed at the onset of the drugs introduction,this is why in my view its important not to get caught up in this because that buzz usualy means your on a high dose,a more effective dose that will not cause depression but instead balance mood will be one hardly noticed alone.
Lyrcia might be different,but id really find it hard to use it monothreapy,perhaps a stimulant used ,i know you mentioned emsam,might work well,let us know.
Good luck.
