Hi LM
I doubt you could use Neurontin instead of your current combo.
I began Neurontin about 3 weeks ago to help with my aggitation from an SSRI. I am quite unimpressed with it's ability to help with irritability and aggitation. I feel it is rather a "light weight" for the symptoms of irritation you describe. It does help a little with anxiety, in that it makes me a bit sleepy.

However, if you have a benzo that is helping control your temper, etc, even when you are on an AD, I would celebrate! I have not found a benzo that can keep a lid on my AD induced hypomania and irritability.

Hang in there!
