John,
Thanks for the info/answers.
To respond to YOUR question - To a certain extent, yes, the Depakote helped with the "racing, intrusive" thoughts. However, NOT completely which other meds (Klonopin being one) have given me (total relief from such thoughts, they're *gone*!)
The answers I've gotten have been amazingly consistent in terms of recommending NEURONTIN! I am definitely going to mention it to my pdoc.
I need exactly what you said Neurontin has - a bit of an antidepressant property and less of an anti-manic property. My racing,intrusive thoughts are DEFINITELY anxiety related. I have very mild mania episodes, repeat very mild and not very often. I'm far more inclined to bad and frequent depression.
Thanks again for responding!
-Janelle
