Since I started going off neurontin a little over a week ago, I have been experiencing more depression and more anxiety than I had in the months before I went on it. (I have been on it for about 2 months, peaking dose at 3200, on it for hypomania mostly.) I am now unable to sleep without Ambien, which I have only been taking sporadically so as to not get too dependent. Nights like tonight when I try to get by without it, I'm up usually until about 3 or 4am & getting up at 7. Tonight is the worst--can't get to sleep yet, and I'm shaking, nauseous, and ready to plead with someone to ck me into a hospital. Dx is cyclothymia, supposed to start Depakote, but now I'm thinking if it is this hard to w/d from meds, maybe I shouldn't get onto something else. Please help. Thanks in advance.
