In reply to neurontin??? any info???, posted by brooketxs on October 23, 2001, at 13:03:56
Howdy. I took 800x4/day Neurontin for BPII disorder. I also suffer with anxiety/panic. It was very mild for me with just a kind of relaxing quality. I noticed no side fx from it. There is a little evidence to suggest it might elevate mood. Neurontin is an anti- convulsant & not a typical AD. It is often rx'd as a mood stabilizer & to help with pain management. My wife takes 400mg in the evening for chronic neck pain & has had no negative reaction to it. Also the literature lists a fairly benign side fx profile. Hope this helps. Take care
