I was put on it because of the nerve pain in my right arm, but if that eases up, I won't have reason for it anymore.

Good. Then, if they ever want you to go back on it for any reason, tell them no.

There's something doctors don't come forth with freely and that's that they don't actually know how neurontin works or what they should really be using it for. They prescribe it for too many different things and don't pay much attention to the reactions people have on it. It's a drug that got green lit by the FDA with very little study.

I don't trust it, at all. I've been on it twice, once because I didn't know what it was and once because they called it a different name and by the time I thought to look it up I was already having a bad time.

This probably sounds paranoid and ranty, but I really really hate that shit.

I've been taking 600mg of Neurontin 3 times a day for years for anxiety and really want to get off of it. At one time it worked out well for me, because I had such crippling anxiety that it made me feel a lot better. But a lot of my anxiety turned out be related to my fucked-up hormones, and as treatment made those better, my mental health got a lot better, too. Enough so that I don't think this tiredness and brain fog is worth it anymore.

Congratulations on beginning your transitioning, by the way!!!

Thanks. I have two writing classes, which I've been told makes me insane, but oh well. The teacher's a lot of fun.

That sort of thing really helped with my anxiety. It took a lot of different things to get it to the awesomely manageable state it's in now, but that was one of the helpful factors. Good luck.

This seems like a pretty positive post. Yay!

(Sorry, this is not the most intelligent/in depth comment. Exams and essays have EATEN my brain power.)

Thank you much! What level of crit are you looking for? I've had writing classes where everyone gave back written comments and ones where people wrote nothing at all. I don't want to be over or underwhelming.

Basically just places you like and hate, especially when it comes to detail because I know I tend to be...sparse in that department. Most of what I'm doing looks to be 1-2 page assignments other than the two short stories, which are each meant to be 1,000 - 5,000 words.
