> last i heard, you were in the process of phasing out neurontin -- have you reduced that to zero now and replaced it with buspar? if so, what do you think of the change?
Stan,
It's only been a week since I started the Buspar, and the effect is still ramping up. I'm going to wait until the Buspar benefits plateau out before trying to wean myself off the Neurontin completely. Being a scientist at heart, I like to control my variables - change only one thing at a time. Otherwise, I won't know what med change is responsible for what symptom change. Of course, there are so many subtle variables that I can't control (or even be aware of) so I may never really be sure. For now, the Buspar is helping with anxiety, but it's too soon to tell if it will provide the same benefits that Neurontin has.
