I did find something!

And I don't know how many people this would apply to.  I was taking
Neurontin as a psych medication.  The Psy doctor tapered me off, cause he
said I didn't need it anymore.  Well that's find, good news, I *don't* need
something for a change...

I tapered off the Neurontin, and that is when these horrible headaches
started happening.  I am sure that the headaches were not some form of
withdrawl, becasue it was a very slow taper, and then I noticed that I had
been using more Imitrex, and calling for refills, which I had not done in a
long time.

So a few days ago, when I made this post, I was just desperate with pain.  I
decided to take the Neurontin, what the heck, I've got a huge bottle of it
sittin here.  I deluged myself with it.  The headache went away, and also it
was nice to feel stoned, which hardly any medication give me a buzz :-)

Now I am back up to 800mg 3xd, and I am having very little problem with
headaches!  You might give that a try.  Topomax is another one, but I don't
think it has a generic.  Generic Neurontin is Gabapentin.

I've been sleeping later, but to prove the point: I went out and had *fun*
today.  Most days I feel like I have some kind of plastic film over me... a
kind of alienated funk that is not visible, but is surely there, and it does
actually impair my functioning.  I did not feel that today.  I felt like a
real human being, I didn't get lost going to where I was going, which was a
big bead store... the biggest one in our county.  And I was there for
*hours,* because I wisely asked for a stool to sit on.  This store has a
huge table (called "the bin") that is about 3feet x 6feet, and is loaded
with all kinds of beads.  Bead fanatics will just dig through that table...
like treasure.  Uh Oh.  Pigmet is here.  He's rubbing his eyes like he just
woke up.  He heard the word "treasure," and he's sad that I did not take
him.  "Well, I didn't think of it as a treasure hunt when I left to go
there, Met, or I would have taken you!  So next time I go I will surely take
you, okay? And we'll buy something just for you.  Howzat?"

"K" :@(  [Mair scruffles the top of Met's head, and pulls him in for a hug]

Okay where was I?  I stayed at that store for three hours!  Any "bead
fanatic" will understand how easy it would be to lose 3 hours of time, when
they are set loose in front of a huge mountain of beads!

Back to the headache problem... It really seems to be gone!  And I know that
you understand what a wonderful feeling that is (or must be if you haven't
had it in a while).  It *is* wonderful.  I was slugging along on this art
project that I really *have* to get done, and it was so hard, having those
headaches.  Now with the headaches gone, I can see the improvement in the
work that I am doing!

So Sherry--we just have to find you something like this.  I have other
problems that still remain--that neck pain that goes up into the back of my
head, etc... but nothing as bad as a migraine.  You should see my bedroom.
I have the windows completely blacked.  You can't tell what time of day it
is in that room.

Okay I've rambled to excess.

Love to you all,
Mair (and Met)

BTW, Inderal sucks donkey.
