Hello Mitch,
Thanks for your insights! What you say is really interesting, because my son has done better on Neurontin by itself than on combos of other BP medications. Neurontin often is found not to work for people with bipolar, except the subset of those who started having mixed symptoms during their teens. Interestingly, this is the same group who are most likely to have co-occuring ADD. I suspect the Neurontin was enough most times of the year until he started a very demanding job about a year ago (network administrator), with some very busy times at work corresponding with the fall and spring seasonal "tough times." It now appears he will need an ADD medication, too.
Again, thank you!
Josie
