Hi, Josie,
The one I have found that works the best for the combination is Neurontin (don't get too high on the dose, though). Tegretol has been shown to help. Also Depakote helps, but it tends to dull you out at higher doses. Lamictal *might* work very well-but haven't tried it yet. You might be able to try a low-dose stimulant (esp. Dexedrine) successfully with the AC and not get you grouchy/dysphoric/panicky.
