> I've been taking some Neurontin since last Saturday at 900mg a day, i'm finding that it does help, mostly just for anxiety, I dont think its going to do much as an anti-manic, but the reduction in anxiety is great.
Yes same here..good for anxiety and somewhat helps with irritation/agitation..although I'm increasingly getting more angry -- due to prozac I'm taking for paroxetine withdrawal...and my online med never delivered the lexapro.........b*stards!
> I'm glad you posted as I know you're a long-term user of Neurontin...I was wondering what you're dose was and if you've found that its lost its effectiveness from when you first started taking it, does it continue to help you?
Yes it does ..I can feel it kicking in now...
sometimes I take more or less depending if I sleep alot.
I take normally 600mg three times a day..I should be taking it 4 times a day but my pdoc is tight .
There'll be days when you may feel it does nothing
then it's effect returns.> I may go for Topamax..already taking a large amount of omega 3, I find that helps too.
Some omegas increase my anger this I never discovered why--I've order some different ones..also magnesuim citrate helps me at bedtime.
I'm going to increase the tegretol..before I go outside biting peoples heads off...I hate this intense irritability..I used to get euphoric but that's gone now.Anyways I'm a rambling..
Hope you feel fluffy soon
