I have been taking neurontin for several months and I am trying to figure out why???
I am somewhere between ADD and rapid cycling or mixed-states BP. I have tapered up to 2400mg (4/4 pills per day) - and I definitely don't feel stable. The pdoc had me stop the SSRIs completely and when I asked him what I should do when depressed - he said to trust that the mood stabilizer would do it's job.
I know something is not right, because suddenly chopping my regular daily dosage of ritalin seems like a good idea. Intellectually I know it is stupid, but I just feel BAD and I want a quick UP>
My friend diagnosed BP is taking 1500mg Neurontin + Effexor. She claims that if you take a mood stabilizer without an AD it will cause depression.
I don't know... anyone please share your thoughts.
