In reply to neurontin vs. depakote for mood stabilizer , posted by Carmen on August 21, 1999, at 19:22:17
> Was just put on a low dose of neurontin to start for mood stabilizer and to control anxiety problem. Was on Depakote for 5 mo., but made me feel blunted - no desire to do anything. Anyone else have this w/Depakote? How have others found neurontin for stabilizing mood and social anxiety? Thank you for your input.
I forgot to mention in my preceding post that Neurontin has virtually no side effects! I don't feel drugged or slowed or confused in any way while taking it. It does not "beat up" your brain like Valium or Xanax and consequently has no sedative effects (other than those one might experience when their anxiety level is cut down majorly).
