CAN YOU TELL ME AT WHAT DOSE YOU FOUND MARKED RELIEF? HOW LONG DID IT TAKE TO "KICK-IN?"

I have finally found a psychiatrist who is very knowledgeable and willing to work with me to find the right med (s) for me. He tried neurontin since he feels my "major depression" dx is really more like "mixed state bipolar". Neurontin is one of the mood stabilizers that seems to have less side effects and less interactions with other meds. After the first week I had no side effects. The dose was titrated up quickly and now I am on 2400mg a day. At this level I noticed that I was much more comfortable with other people and relaxed at social events. However, since we are working on lifting the long standing depression and that was not happening, the doc has added Zyprexa. This surprise me since I am not in the least psychotic and never have been that I know of. He showed me a printout of some recent studies where it was shown to be an effective antidepressant and mood stabilizer. AND, in my case it seems to be helping.
