> I'm not the best one to say whether you or your son have a bipolar component or cyclothymia. A qualified psychopharmocologist can help in making this often tricky diagnosis. Definately it would be hard to say from the limited info you have provided. Bipolar or not, neurontin may have potential benefit for your son.
I think Neurontin would be a good choice. I took it for a few years following an accident. The only really bad reaction I had was forgetfullness. I was taking quite a large dose at that time for pain management. The weight gain is kind of bad, but he can afford to gain a few pounds.
Hate to say it, but your son may be heading for a crash if continues the pseudoephedrine. His response to it offers clues as to which drugs may be effective long term therapies for him but it shouldn't be considered an answer in itself.
Yes, you are very right. In fact, he has crashed already. He did this last night. I am begging him to hang on here. I had to reverse the situation and make him angry to keep him from being so depressed and hopeless. I don't like doing this, but he is worrying me.
We are researching for a new doctor for him today. Wish us luck. We are in Indiana by the way if anyone knows of anyone close.
Thanks again for everything. Keep them coming, it makes him feel better to know someone is listening to him.
smd and son
