> Hi Andrew,

First of all, I take my meds under the supervision of the excellent psychopharmacologist. Unfortunately, because of high fees, I'm able to see him only about four times a year - I need to travel.
Secondly, about my response to reboxetine/reboxetine-neurontin combo - there was a big difference to bring me to a functional state, I can't say it was mania. It provided energy and no more negative thoughts, and I was finally able to get out of bed, go for a walk and feel normal. Adding Neurontin simply brought back the response, and also Neurontin was excellent for anxiety, and no more oversleeping.
As I know, mania is characterized by pressure to talk fast, racing thoughts and ideas, and decreased need for sleep. Nothing like that happened in my case. However, with time there was coming back of pure depression (no anxiety), especially at the evening every day.

I'm looking to augment my current combo rather then to switch to something else, as it is partially effective.
Unfortunately, I'm allergic to Lamictal, so I can't try that. I will see my Pdoc in three months. This is a long time to cope, so I need to find some help. Of course, my local Pdoc has no clue. He was so much against the combo I tried in the past which was Aurorex + Dexedrine. He is very traditional.
One of the doctors I saw in Mexico mentioned something about rapid metabolizing which can explain why I quickly loose the response. For example, when I took the 4th daily doze of Rebox/Neurontin - the response came back.
I did it only once though, just to see what happens.
Anyway, I still look for options to augment my combo.

Anna
