Thank you so much @guener for your feedback! Yes I am conviced that I should wait another week or 2 to reach 6 weeks. I am concerned of getting off Lorazepam, I’ve been on it from about a month and I think I still need few weeks if things went right with Cipralex. How you went off gapapentin?

@rattahk, I went from 1800mg of gapapentin down to 1200, then down to 600. When i dropped to 600mg I started having depression, so I went back up to 1200 and am doing better. In the next week I will drop 300mg down to 900 and see how that goes. I was reducing my dosage faster than I was able to deal with the change, and understand that it will just take me longer than I want to come down to a dose that is where I have fewer side effects of difficult in focusing and being tired during the day. When I wasn't working i didn't notice these side effects so much, but I have a relatively new job where it had become a problem for me.
