Please be careful with this drug. I am a tacher who three years ago was hospotalized for and eating/ running disorder. I had never been on any drugs up to this point (35 years old) when I was in the hospital for 6 weeks I was put on 900 mg neurotin, 50 mg serquel, 300 mg of welbutron and .1 mg of
xanax. After 2 years I wanted OFF all this junk. I felt like an addited junky and could bearly teach my classes with out getting the shakes if I did not have my 1mg of xanax at lunch. I went to my regular doctor and asked for help. First he weined me off the high dosage of neurotin which was a long and hard ordeal. Then the xanax. It took 3 months and I have been clean for aobut 2. However, I do take one now and then when needed for TMJ pain. When I say as needed I try not to take it more then once a week. I have found that I need a beer everynight to wind down and help my jaw to relax. My continued running every day 4-6 miles helps a lot with the stress also. BUT, please be careful. Some of these doctors are no worse then drug pushers and just because the drugs are prescribed does not make them any less additive. I still take 300 mg of welbuton and 50 mg of serquel to help me sleep at night. But, I am not near the drug addited person I was 6 months ago. good luck. Please e mail me if I can help anyone in any way.
