I've read some good stuff about neurontin on this board, and my sister has had some success taking it so I'm thinking about suggesting to my p-doc that I switch from Depakote/Wellbutrin combo to just Neurontin. It sounds like it has antidepressant effects as well as being a mood stabilizer (and my bipolar is very mild).
My question is: what side-effects does Neurontin have? Specifically, I have had problems with serious, chronic constipation, some slurred speech, minor weight gain, and some trouble sleeping on my current meds. Also, Wellbutrin gave me the ability to orgasm, which has been lacking for a while (and it's still not perfect)...so I don't want to switch to anything that will negatively effect that essential skill. Finally, Depakote has done wonders eliminating my migraines...does Neurontin have the same effect?
Thanks!!!
