My (quite competent) shrink put me on 900 neurontin. 300 x 3. Great stuff...sometimes. Sometimes, I feel a little too chatty. Like, disinhibited sort of chatty. Plus, kinda walk a little drunkenly.
Ugh. Its strange, because I used to take benzos. Loooking back, those made me a bit too...at ease, I suppose. Can I PRN my neurontin? Its just terrible, because it works fairly well at decreasing agitation, but then I think...maybe I'm one of those people needs a bit of agitation and anxiety, like maybe it keeps things interesting and keeps me from flattening out completely?
So, yeah...can I PRN the gabapentin? Any alternative med suggestions? In my dream world, I'd take something along with my Abilify in 1-2 doses that would reduce agitation, not make me stupid, not be a controlled substance, and not require constant dosage changes. OH, and it could not be: a neuroleptic; depakote; lithium; vistaril; or most sri drugs.
Thanks.
