Oooppss..my bad!!..:-) Sorry..I didn't mean to generalize. I just recall there was a really big Neurontin 'craze' a few years ago, and the makers got busted for touting it for everything they possibly could. But, isn't that what most drug companies do?..hehee.I am sure it still has many uses, especially in the combos like you mentioned. I also too rely on a 'cocktail', and it has taken a long time to find what does and doesn't work. The more meds avaialble, the better it seems, just because I think it increases your 'odds' of finding ones that do work.
Anyhow,
May you be enchanted in light and a peaceable kingdom!Jay

I can't recall the website, but the doctor on there mentions that after the makers of Neurontin where exposed with their half-arse 'studies', newer studies have even shown it to be less effective than placebo, and I know there must be a few around for Bipolar Disorder.

> I take Neurontin with Depakote..as a stabiliser solo it's useless but if i take 600mg is a big difference with anxiety--better than benzos (that don't work for me)but can make you a bit stupid--like i am now : )
