> I take serzone 225mg twice a day and neurontin 800mg at night. I have tried to ease off the neurontin which is not supposed to be habit forming, but when I do I wake up depressed and anxious. Anyone else try to get off neurontin.
> Thanksi have been on a combination of neurontin and an antipsychotic (seroquel) since 2000 and a diagnosis of bipolar.
i have since gained 60 lbs. in two increments and wonder which of my medications is to blame?
i am currently investigating a switch from neurontin ( i take 3 divided doses of 600 mg. each throughout the day ) to gabatril since the latter has no propensity to cause weight increase.
i had once before wained off of neurontin and, despite the claim that it is not habit forming, i developed anxiety, panic attacks and social phobia that preceeding my treatment with neurontin i had never had...be careful doing the same.
