In reply to Neurontin and Lithobid combo for bipolar, posted by Helouise on January 11, 2000, at 8:48:35
Helouise: I have taken both at the same time, but not for bipolar. I'm ADD-H and Dysthymic and had a terible neurological disorder (severe ear pain - Neurologist rx'd Neurontin and went up to 3600mg with less than desirable results for pain). To answer your question, partly, it's a safe mix, both are excellent mood stabilizers. He may have to go up on the lithium since 300-600 is sort of low, however it may do the trick. Bottom line is, don't be supprised if the doc ups the lithium dose. FYI, I take lithium 900 and Parnate 60. I hope all works well for him and you. Best of blessings!
