I just typed this out and went to check the page and lost it :(
But, I want to be sure you know that Neurontin is not effective in treating bipolar disorder. I'm not sure if your doctor suggested it to you or not. I found an article you can read that explains exactly what happened. Neurontin helped me with anxiety. But it is not effective in treating bipolar disorder. If you do not take another mood stabilizer with it, it will not help to control your moods. Here is the web page with the article. A good place to find matter of fact info about drugs is google. Just type the name in and check the different matches. You can find all kinds of neato stuff out. Sorry to keep on about this, but I don't want you to possibly take something that isn't going to help you get better.. Read this article. It explains the lawsuit regarding Neurontin. A lot of people were hurt because the drug company said it worked for bipolar disorder and it doesn't.
