> Remeron was the foggiest med i have been on. I took it to sleep at night. Gabitril and Neurontin both helped with obsessions and mood swings. It seems that these drugs are used for a lot of different reasons. They make you feel detached in general. i think Neurontin fogged up my brain too much, at times i couldn't put a sentence together that made any sense. Gabitril has worked best for me, although it has caused some neurological side effects--twitches and stuff. It doesn't keep me from obsessing if i decide i really want to, which i like. but i don't get lost in thoughts for hours at a time like i used to. it helped as an add-on for panic and as a mood stabilizer. i had to go up to 8 mg to get the best effects. Some people go all the way to 50-something. If you don't mind feeling high it works well.
when you say gabapentin fogged up your brain.. does that mean it would stop you from thinking too much (like for me, that would involve thinking of many different normal things at the same time, and not being able to focus, or thinking about one agitating thing wayyyyy too much)thanks a lot for the replies mitch, dinah, madison, it means a lot to me :)
