Just wondering. My p-doc is prescribing 1 mg along
with my other ad for anxiety. We're thinking of trying
it for a year, as it's not to be taken long term.

a schizophrenic office-mate (a computer programmer
no less... pretty high functioning for a person
with schizophrenia, but ultimately he flipped out
pretty hard and now lives in a group home).He had to take cogentin to deal with the side
effects of the Novane (basically Parkinsons dz). I
would be more inclined to experiment with the
newer "atypical" antispychotics such as
olanzapine, risperidone, etc... They have a
much more benign side effect profile and appear
to work with specific dopamine and serotonin
circuits.Hmm. How about Gabapentin?
All the best,
Sean.

I don't know if there's really all that much to
worry about. My p-doc says they treat schizophrenics
with 20-30 mg's of this stuff, and she's only
prescribing 1 mg--that's such a tiny amount. I was
just curious if anyone else had experience with
the drug in that small of an amount.
