> Wow, adding that 200mgs sure hit me. Started to sweat, typing woresened, anxiety, felt on the brink of a nervous breakdown. I hope that this all passes. I hope that I made the right choice with this med.
This is not what I was hoping to hear. You seem to report progress in that you are functioning better and going out more, etc. Then you report nearing a nervous breakdown. I cannot justify suggesting that you continue with this drug trial. The object was to make things better and not worse. I do not believe that 1000mg will serve you any better than 800mg. It sounds like you are experiencing withdrawal to me.
You might need to follow a taper schedule similar to what 49er recommended. He has his Babble-Mail enabled, so you can send a message directly to him. Tell him I said hello.
Discontinuing Tegretol might allow you to feel better as the blood level of diazepam will increase as a result.
