Hi, Butterfly,

I am trying to get up to a 600 mgs dose to help with nerve pain and with anxiety and depression. That is my hope.
This medication does not help with sleep.

I can tell you my experience was positive with it for years Mari, I had no idea though it was working on my anxiety until I weaned off it and that came flooding back! Now many years later I asked for it again and was rx'd it at 900 mgs, I take 300 mg 3 times a day and the results are really remarkable. I don't feel hung over with it at all even at this level. I hope it helps you like it has me Mari.

Lightbulb Hubby brought light to my life
Hi,

The two light fixtures on the ceiling in the living room have been out for probably a year. The room does have two crappy flour lamps. Hubby has not seen fixing the darkness as a priority partly because the lamps had the added complication of being remote controlled.
The other day, he spent ten hours learning the wiring.
My lights are working!!
This one is similar to the two we have except ours have four bulbs each.


Being in that living room feels so much better now.

Perhaps I like him more.

I'm sorry Mari, I misunderstood. I hope it helps with your nerve pain and anxiety. Cool on your ceiling fan working now!

Default wine 8 hours before routine blood work at the lab?
Hi,

The instructions for blood work at the lab in the morning say "fasting."
Do you think that it is ok that i ate a meal around 9:00 p.m. and then had a five oz glass of wine at 3:00 a.m?
My appointment is at 11:00 a.m.

I suppose that I should get to bed so that I can get to the lab for my appoint.
HA. HA. HA.

(Bedtime . . . . right . . . . I am wide awake.)

Hmmm, I don't know how that could effect bloodwork. Sorry you were up last night, too.
