Gabapentin/Neurontin Advice

Posted by Nickengland on April 15, 2005, at 14:32:08

Hello to anyone that can help : )

Im considering trying this drug for helping me with anxiety and as a mood stabiliser as im bipolar. (want to use it more for the anxiety as i am already on tegretol as main mood stabiliser)

The thing that concerns me, and what id like to find out about is, how much of neurontin/gabapentin works as an anti-depressant???

I really want to stay away from anything that can push my mood up or work in the same way as an anti depressant does - this just makes my overall condition worse.

I just want something a little extra to target my anixety - but if the neurontin works like an anti depressant too....then its a no no and I won't bother at all with it.

Many thanks to anyone who can advise me on their experiences of Neurontin/Gabapentin.

Ps. Benzo's aren't an option : ( I see the psychiatrist in 4 days to request drug changes...

Kind regards,

Nick
