Thank you bizi, Mm, and Fuzzy Dear for your friendship

bizi, I wanted to raise the Gaba. med dude was reluctant. Said 1800mg is ceiling dose for anxiety. No, it is not. Finally he scrolled on his phone and agreed that well, maybe the dose could go higher. Yes, of course, they never want to increase 2 meds at the same time. I do understand why, but when a depression/anxiety is this severe my feeling is, go ahead and raise both meds. I had an excellent & experienced pdoc who would occasionally do that. Raising 1 then waiting 2 weeks to raise the other...it's just too long. I'm considering raising the Gaba myself, then telling med dude I accidentally dropped the open bottle and lost a bunch of the capsules in dishwater. Or something like that.

Anyway, thankfully, the Topomax definitely is helping decrease the depression.
