> I have rapid-cycling Bipolar 1 and have just started taking Mysoline. I am also taking Lithobid (3000 mg) a day and 400 mg Seroquel also 90 mg Restoril and 2 mgs Cogentin and thyroid. Anyway, I was 'just wondering if anyone here has had experience with this drug or com- bination of drugs. Thanks-C
It's an anticonvulsant that is a metabolic precursor to phenobarbitol. Phenobarbitol can make depression worse. Please be careful, ok?
What're you supposed to be taking it for, anyway? I've never heard of primidone being used for bipolar disorder (although barbiturates may have been used like 50 years ago!).
