I have had a decent response to neuronin at doses of 800-1200 mg(per dose) up to four times a day.
I would describe the result as mild mood brightening and anxiety reduction. This med is much different than benzos which flatten mood for me.
Neurontin just makes life more interesting (colors and sounds more intense). I am also more social and less reclusive than usual.
Now these changes on neurontin are mild to moderate. Would trileptal give me a similar effect but more intensity. If not trileptal would another mood stabilizer give me a better response.
Right now my med combo is percocet plus neurontin.

I feel it's the percocet. Phillipa

Upgrade from neurontin to lyrica, and it will become much more fun.

Lyrica causes to much weight gain. That's why I'm looking into trileptal.

Approximately 15 percent of people taking Lyrica gain weight. Or more the chance or edema too. Not a huge risk, but if it scares you.
Hope trileptal works well for you:)
