> > > Actually, I am the one that has become depakote defiante. I will go back on it, but he really likes the neurontin for the anti-aniety properties. About the pen, he's a bit used to it by now. I think he was more concerned about me invading the staff icebox and poss. forking out dough for lunch. the bigge with Effexor is that it's the only thing that really works for me. Neurontin has helped with manic behavior, but I am the first to admit not as well as Dep., but the side effects are more tolerable and i like not havung the bloodwork needed for dep use. Tegritol is another optin for me, but we are reserving it if possible. Lithium is a NO NO...It is the only med in his "arsenol" that I have repetaadly refused to take--I like having a thyroid...lol ~Tony
Sounds like you may have found a good med combo. Lithium IS a little tough to take. I have already lost half my thyroid from a tumor (but it can't really be pinned on the lithium). Tegretol-YUCK! If you go back on Depakote I think you can take a little zinc and selenium that can stop hair loss for most people.
