Hi JohnnyS,
Great question! I was disturbed by an article I read this past week about all the illegaly promoted uses of neurontin. However, this isn't quite the same thing. I am very treatment resistent and so I may be biased, but I trust the doctors I affectionately refer to as "the best of the best" to know how to interperet the latest data, and make intelligent choices on my behalf. For example, many people with bipolar disorder on this board alone have been helped by Lamictal. If their psydocs chose to wait until Lamictal gets aproval for this indication those people would still be suffering.
Just my opinion,
