Re: neurontin antox and remarkable effects to Debs

[Guest guest]

Hey Debs,

Girl, do I have to start lecturing you AGAIN about the antox? Remember about

two and a

half years ago when you wrote me and you were feeling sick, depressed and

absolutely

awful.....and then I asked you if you were still taking your antioxidants, and

you said NO,

you'd run out of them? Well, we both know how important they are and how much

they do

for us. Can't ever forget or let them run out! I'm so sorry you had more

troubles without

them. I can't go without them, either.

I've found I can get by a day or two without them, but any more than that and

then I'm

crawling the walls with the pain. Fortunately I can get all of them separately

here, so the

longest I've had to wait is over a weekend or something like that when the shops

closed.

I do like the Neurontin. My only objection to it is that it does make me fall

asleep at the

drop of a hat. Neuronitin, combined with the duragesic and all my other meds

causes

tremendous drowsiness. My PM doc just gave me a new med to combat this,

Provogil, but

after taking it for a week I've had to stop taking it because of bad side

effects. It's a med

for narcolepsy, but yesterday I was driving home from the doctor's and feeling

really

weird, couldn't keep my attention on the road, feeling really antsy and stuff.

At first it

made me feel very awake and aware, but later in the day the inattention started,

plus a

few other weird things, and I don't think I can take it anymore. I'm going to

call him about

it today.

I hope you can find a source for the Neurontin. Didn't you say that they were

giving it to

you in the hospital in a shot? Maybe I'm confusing that drug with something

else that you

were given.

Good to hear from you again, but I'm sorry that you've been feeling badly again.

How was

your trip to China?

Think good thoughts,
