I saw a new psychiatrist today, and the new plan of
attack for my bipolar II is Neurontin and Serzone.I've found a lot of info on Serzone on Babble (you guys
are such a great resource!), but considerably less on
Neurontin. I was on Depakote (combined w/ various SSRIs
or Wellbutrin)in the past, and gained about 60 lbs. in
the first 3 months or so that I was on it. It helped
keep me even, but it also made me very drowsy and sedated.So what I am wondering is how Neurontin compares to Depakote.
I know that they are both anti-convulsants, but what
differences should I expect? How similar are they?
At this point, I absolutely cannot gain any more weight.Thanks for any input,
Jannette
