Perhaps part of this is psychological- I don't know. The Topamax is definitely my main life saver, but the Neurontin helps.
Hi Kingfish.
A coupla Qs if you don't mind...
What does the Topomax do for you (you're BPII, right)? Does it help with the depression side of things? Are you depressed w/o the Celexa?
The 'immediate difference' (re Gabapentin) you speak of; is this akin to the 'calming' effect I frequently read of?
Lastly, how close to remission does this combo bring you (pretty close I hope!)?
Thanx 4 any info,
J.**Yr pdoc's view of Gabapentin's augmenting action, + yr own experiences, seem to bear out my line of thinking, doncha think?!
