In reply to Info on topomax and neurontin to take to the doc., posted by Kelty on March 28, 2002, at 1:15:45
Hi Kelty,
I've just started Topamax in conjunction with 45 mg. Remeron 600 mg lithium and 10 mg Ambien (plus natural thyroid). I too have anxiety and fibromyalgia as well as depression. I'm now up to 50 mg of Topamax taken at night and haven't as yet noticed anything except for the yawns (I'm about to take myself to bed).If you do begin Topamax treatment, please keep me informed of how your treatment is going. I'll make a note to get back to you in 2 or so weeks (if I don't hear from you sooner) to let you know how my progress is going. I'm especially interested in the fibromyalgia dx. I've heard that Neurontin has a better track record for fibro pain, but I'm taking Topamax because of it's additional weight loss benefits. Best wishes, Barbara
> Does anyone know where I might find articles/research on using topomax and neurontin to treat anxiety? I need something to take to the doctor who is doing my prescribing. I am thinking of one of these drugs as an adjunct to my antidepressant because I hear that they are being used in treatment of anxiety, migraines and fibromyalgia, which are all issues for me.
