> Neurotin helps with sleep and anxity? Fondly, Phillipa
Yes, in my case it has. I was on Depakote+Celexa+clonazepam and still having breakthrough depressions, mixed symptoms, and sleep disruption. When I first tried Neurontin added to that mix I felt much better depression and anxiety wise. But, I stopped everything but the Neurontin and things worsened. I've tried Neurontin (gabapentin) again off and on several times since then and it seems that it only works well in combo with Depakote and a tad of SSRI and clonazepam. My pdoc doesn't want me to take it because it seems to induce a mild hypomania without dysphoria. Doesn't appear to affect *cycling* one way or another, however. I would call Depakote+gabapentin+(low-dose)SSRI+clonazepam a "golden" combo for me. I want to restart it, but expect an argument about it. May have to see about different pdoc.
