I was, once upon a time. But what I had said in the post that is lost was that this drug's effects changed. It saved my life 10 years ago. Then I just continued to use it recreationally. It made me euphoric once,. Now it does just the opposite. Without my realizing it, I have become a veritable hermit. This is sooooooo not me. I feel as if the drug betrayed me because its effects just changed! And yet I still need it for anxiety.
But really - I haven't used an ssri for months. IF I can manage to skip a few days of neurontin then I can "finish" - I can even want to start.
HA - Allow me some other time to tell you about the strains on my marriage and I will say that I sometimes feel that it does not matter that my husband feels inadequate. I have a pretty steady supply. I can just pop pills and WISH that the old euphoria were still available to me, but cozy up to the depression that it leaves me with at this juncture.
Yeah... I am doing the 12 step business over neurontin.
Wow.....
I wonder if the generic version is the culprit! Has anyone else noticed a difference?
Anyway, don't do drugs. Just say no.
