> > On 24oo mg a day now and I really dont seem to feel much it acually has a slight antidepressant effect for me I believe - I am taking it for bipolar 2 along with lamictal 400 mg a day which I continue to rais and klonopin at about 3 mg a day - klonopin always made me depressed before but with the lamictal it seems to be the most effective drug of the three - it acually seems to have a strong antidepressant affect almost sending me into a hypomanic phnse - but then if I am on it too long it depresses me so I am kind of cycling.
Strange. That's been exactly my experience. Klonopin on its own does nothing but Klon. + just 25mg of Lamictal sent me into genuine hypomania. A couple on this brd vaguely discounted the idea but I was certain, & am more so after reading yr post. I'm on 275mg of Lamictal (& increasing) + Klonopin as needed, or when it appears to work. I've recently started Neurontin 1200mg & will increase. Like y'self, not much luck as of yet & there seems to be a moderate degree of cycling, something I don't normally do.
I'm pretty new to the BP side of things & don't have any advice as of yet. Sorry. Just wanted to show some 'solidarity'; you seem to be @ a similar point to myself.
