In reply to Neurontin and bipolar disorder, posted by Jessica on October 13, 2000, at 15:57:41

Jessica,

I'm on BCP (tried Mircette first, then Nordette, and now Triphasil-28) and Neurontin for anxiety. I've had no problems so far with the BCP and Neurontin. As for the alcohol, I'm also weaning off of benzos (presently take 1.5 mg. of Xanax), so I don't indulge in alcohol.
