> > Anyhoo, I felt a difference immediately, and feel a difference every four hours when it's time to take yet another dose. Perhaps part of this is psychological- I don't know. The Topamax is definitely my main life saver, but the Neurontin helps.

Hi Kingfish.

A coupla Qs if you don't mind...

What does the Topomax do for you (you're BPII, right)? Does it help with the depression side of things? Are you depressed w/o the Celexa?

The 'immediate difference' (re Gabapentin) you speak of; is this akin to the 'calming' effect I frequently read of?

Lastly, how close to remission does this combo bring you (pretty close I hope!)?

Thanx 4 any info,
J.

**Yr pdoc's view of Gabapentin's augmenting action, + yr own experiences, seem to bear out my line of thinking, doncha think?!
