Hi Colin
I take 600mg Lamictal with 600mg of Neurontin and 10mg Prozac. I find the combination activating and it has pretty much completely alleviated my depression. This is the first combination that has worked. It's really great! I have not experienced any irritability.
> I wondered whether anyone here is taking lamictal and neurontin concurrently, and what the results are.
> I'm considering adding a small dose of neurontin to counteract the irritability I feel when I(eventually) up my lamictal dose.As there is definitely an anger component to my depression, I need to be on my guard against it.
> I tried depakote recently on its own, but didn't like it at all.The dose may have been too high, so I could always experiment with a 'sliver'- but I don't really like the idea of this combo. due to its bad press.
> Any thoughts or experiences with neurontin welcome.
