In reply to Gabpentin (neurontin) as a mood stabelizer, posted by Mac on August 22, 2000, at 14:00:09
> I have been surfin' the net and was really curious as to what the real scoop was on this drug was as a mood stabilizer. I take Celexa 50 mg; topamax 25mg pills 3, three times a day and sonata 10mg to help me sleep and then I was just put on 300 mg of neurontin. I am reading some pretty scary sutff about this drug and was woundering if there was any truth to it.
I have been on Neurontin 3 months and it has done me a world of good. It is used for pain control for arthritis, mood swings, seizures, what it does is opens the blood flow to the brain stem. That's how it was explained to me by my doctor.I have severe explosive disorder and it's under control now. I take 2700mg of Neurontin a day. And Trazodone to sleep. I read the other post. I think it's the doctors that are over medicating or something. There's nothing wrong with Neurontin if it's taken in the right dose.
