> perhaps if you are a natural bipolar (not necessarily medication induced) you could take a mood stabilizer to keep turn the mania into euthymia, and then stay that wayYeah, I may need to add a mood sabilizer, But Would I need one on parnate?

Good question. I don't really know. I think I may have a combo of laziness/tired/not doing anything without the meds -but i mostly am realy jacked up when I'm med-free- (I'm already starting to feel that way again). I'm shaky, have tremors, jumping out of my skin, irritable, shallow breathing, racing and repeating thoughts, inability to concentrate, completely nervious and about ready to come unglued, restless, more . . .

> ... parnate caused some h-mania early on, then i got rid of that with some gabapentin ... it wasn't as strong as with paxil ... or effexor..Is gabapentin similar to neurontin or lamictal?
i don't know the difference between racing thoughts and mania... thought they were the same thing
Maybe they are- I don't know much about this, all I know is how I feel
