> Hi Jay, I don't think I ever read where you have tried any Depakote. Also a low-dose combo of Depakote and Neurontin seemed to work well. Sometimes other meds you are taking are *triggering* the anger. One way I have found to gauge my general level of hostility/anxiety is how I feel driving. If my anxiety level is way up all the other cars (*not* the drivers) seem menacing. If my hostility level is way up all the other cars are trying to "get away" with something they don't deserve, or they are "cheating" in some way. Whenever I was tolerating Neurontin fairly well at higher doses I felt like all the other cars were "friendly" and "interesting". I guess I test drive my drugs! Sorry for the rambling..
Hey Ritch...no you aren't rambling...it's support MUCH appreciated! I was on Depakote (Or Epival here in Canada), and it worked ok with Effexor...but just horrible on it's own. It made me sleep and sleep and be miserable. Same with Neurontin, although I would still be open to exploration with both. I may need some tricky combo, and I have read using 2 mood stabalizers is actually one of the most effective, and current cutting edge treatments.I can tell if I am angry/irritable the second I wake up. My emotions have become so all-consuming, I swear I am surprised I don't spit fire! LOL!
