Hi Sar,
Personally I think neurontin is useless as a primary mood stabilizer so until you have lamictal at an effective dose, you're leaving yourself wide open to the prozac which can have horrendous effects in bipolar disordered patients. (The klonopin may help but it really is more for panic and anxiety). There are documented cases of people with suicidal ideation on prozac, you may be one of the unfortunate few. Did you have trouble with depakote? (the gold standard along with lithium) I hope you begin to feel better- judy
