In reply to Help Pleeeze..trileptal or imipramine for depress, posted by disney4 on December 30, 2002, at 13:54:05

> I am currently on Neurontin and Klonopin for Bipolar Disorder and OCD. I can't tolerate SSRI's and I have tried almost all of the newer AD's on the market. I need something to help with depression. The large quantity of fish oil I take just isn't enough. I am considering adding imipramine to my current regimen or substituting trileptal for the neurontin, since I have heard it is an activating mood stabilizer. I suffer from constipation now, so I am concerned about the imipramine, although my Dr suggested a very low dose. It also seems like the trileptal has a much safer profile, but I am not 100% sure of it. Any comments or help is greatly appreciated!

I haven't had much of an "anxiolytic" response to Trileptal. I would suggest Clomipramine instead of imipramine. Also, I have heard that stopping Neurontin can *aggravate* OCD symptoms greatly in some folks. Be careful.
