Help!
OK here's the regimen:
600 mg Lamictal/day
900 mg Neurontin/dayI have had experiences of "dissociation" where I seem to have disconnected from my body- like my brain is somewhere else. Kind of feeling spacy but not really- it makes it very difficult to drive because it takes a great deal of concentration to keep the reflexes going. Before, during, and after these episodes my mood is extremely good- I don't know if it's hypomanic or just "good"- I have yet to distinguish these two. Within the next day or two I crash and burn and go back to my mild to moderate depressed state.
Anybody ever experienced this? Is this kind of dissociation associated with hypomanic episodes. Lamictal has been the best thing for me- it has really helped, but now that I've increased my dose as it has petered out, I'm getting these experiences.
Any help would be most appreciated!
Peter
