Hello All,
I have dropped from 600 mg to 450 mg. This is day five and so far I am doing FINE. I have soreness from muscle tension and a sore throat each morning from tensing my jaw during sleep as well as other little complaintants. In two or three days I will drop to 300 mg x 7 days, then 225 mg x 7 days, 150 mg x 7 days, 75 mg x 7 days
If it wasn't for the lack of energy as well as some other smaller proublems ( "O" ), I would continue at 600 mg. All and All, I think the effectiveness of this dosage has reached the point of diminishing returns. The triggers which set off one of my deepest depressions has passed and the AD are messing with the balance I need to maintain as a Bi-Polar. My Dr. tells it this way --- What do you get when you cross a Bi-Polar (Untreated) with a AD ???
The answer of course is a Manic or even Hyper-Manic (Postal) I think, in almost every case of someone who has gone 'Postal' there lurks some recent AD drug history. Just a theory.....
Good luch to all
