> ChloeHi Chloe,
Thanks for the info. I was having severe breakthrough
anxiety due to a situation. My pdoc isn't available
and I took some Zyprexa + neurontin which solved the
problem. Unfortunately it is inducing some derealization.I did notice the neurtontin wore off a couple hrs quicker
than usual. I asked my pdoc about taking Topamax and he
said not to due to the kidney interactions.John
