Just started Lyrica. Here is my experience so far:
I was thinking that the .25 mgs-.5mgs of klonopin I've been taking for 10 years was contributing to my increasing depression, so I wanted to phase it out, but be able to sleep at night.
taken during the day Lyrica stupifies me but makes me feel more emotionally open. At night it seems to help with sleep and during the day my mood is good, anxiety is low, but I still feel a little impaired. I'm only taking 50mgs!I don't want to take it during the day but I'm starting to feel "weird" mid-day. Confusion gets worse and both my hands went numb driving home last night.
I ended up missing two days of it (after only taking the 50mgs for two days) and I was a racy ball of rage for those two days.
Trying to figure out if I'm going through a daily "withdrawal" by only taking at night? I'm also feeling almost too good, like I'm drunk. I'm worried that I'm developing an artificial kind of well-being. Klonopin didn't do this at the doses I was taking.
it is nice to feel open, less obsessive and suspicious, and less apathy.
Also taking 100mgs lamictal daytime and 5mgs celexa at night. I think the morning lamictal might be creative an "additive anticonvulsant" stupidity.
Talking to people is easier...writing feels very slow.
