I would call it 40-50% remission. However very little initiative to do things. Content to go to the mall and watch tv.

So the neurontin helps with depression, anxiety but not adhd. Odd how when I combined it with vyvanse I just felt the vyvanse. For me I build a rapid tolerance to them and they start working shortly.
