ok
the short version. I have had and do have panic disorder and depression. I have been successfully treated with xanax and Prozac. I go on and off the prozac as i feel i need it. The latest is that six months ago i was diagnosed with Crohns disease and am now taking prednisone and mesalamine! The pred has really done a number on me. Can't sleep at all. I have horrible pains in my hands and feet(that has been ongoing with the crohns but has gotten worse). Everytime I try to sleep I have tremors that keep me awake
and are really quite disturbing. My pshychiatrist has prescribed neurotin and i am trying to figure out what he has prescribed it for. Does it have a sedating effect? How will this drug help me? And will it be a problem with a digestive disorder? Thanks in advance...and by the way. I did a poll in the newsgroup I belong to (Crohns-colits support) and it seems about 40% suffer from panic disorder. Seems like there must be some sort of connection

mood stabilization, and relief of neuropathic pain.
I've also read that it works for panic disorder and
anxiety in some people, so it may be a good choice
given the tragic array of symptoms you described

I understand that it can help some people sleep if the not sleeping is mood related (or maybe they mean brain chemistry, I don't know). Just what I've heard, not sure about this.
Hope it works for you.
