> i am looking for info on neuronton also. i am finding it to make me real sleepy. i tried taking it at night but i was restless and when i talke it in the morning i am sleepy. i am also on zyprexa and restoril. does anyone out there know where i can find some more information on this?How long have you been taking it? I was sleepy for
the first month (clumsy too) but I stuck with it.
I ended up needing an antidepressant at the same
time, but now I can acutally take antidepressants
whereas before it was just too intense.The alternatives are lamotrigine, valproate, and
maybe some of the other anticonvulsants. It is
tough to treat this stuff and I'm not sure what
the answer is. Tried lithium?
