Saw my pdoc today (I'm bipolar) and she'd put me on Wellbutrin a couple of weeks ago. I'm happy with the weight loss and the side effects have begun to subside (the worst was tinnitus for a few days, but it passed). Okay, so now she wants me to consider going on Neurontin in addition to the Wellbutrin. She says that my manic phases have been the most hazardous (during mania I make major life changing decisions and immediately act on them. Needless to say, I've screwed up a lot during mania)...so she wants me back on something to keep the manic phases at bay. I've been doing okay lately. No mania, but it always shows up sooner or later. I'm in a down phase right now. Anyway, I'm concerned about the effects of using Wellbutrin and Neurontin simultaneously and would be interested to hear if any of you have taken these meds together. Any horrible Neurontin side effects? Also, I'm wondering if Neurontin would mess with my weight loss? I'm enjoying the weight loss as I'd been on Depakote before and had gained on it. Any comments would be appreciated. Thanks!
