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
