I've been taking Neurontin for about six months and
have found it to be quite benign in terms of side
effects. At first it makes you a bit drowsy and
spacey, but this wears off in about a week.For me, I noticed that it changed the length of
time I sleep (longer) but did not really help in
going to sleep. In terms of mood, I have found it
much more useful in terms of hypomania than treating
my depression. In fact, I think monotherapy made
my depression somewhat worse. What it has allowed
me to do, however, is take zoloft at a dose which
treats my depression.Anyway, it is a well-tolerated med and easier to
take than lithium. It might be safer than depakote
and lamictal, but these drugs have been used safely
by many people as well.Just try it. Be well,
Sean.
