Tristin,
If you have the time, call and talk to her to keep her company. Some
famillies just aren't close anymore, so friends have to take their
place.When I am sad or depressed, it helps to have somebody to talk to or
something to do to take depressing things off my mind.I hope she isn't
thinking about something like that seriously. If you think she is you might
ought to tell her to talk to her doctor about changing the medicine. II used
to be on a lot of Neurontin myself, which it never had that kind of affect
on me. After my surgery my neurologist lowered it some, but I still am on
some everyday. If you need anything write anytime and both of you try to be
there for each other. Take care.
