i was on a combination of neurontin (900mg) and lexapro (20mg) for bipolar I. prior to the neurontin i was only on the AD, but it was sending me into hypomania so the neurontin was supposed to even me out.
maybe i just wasn't taking enough lexapro, but the neurontin made me *crazy*. i had never been so wild in my life. my sex drive tripled (and i'm a 19y/o guy, so that says a lot) and i felt like i was completely happy and free. i later realized that i must have been manic, even though that doesn't really make sense, considering the high level of neurontin and low level of lexapro (this should have sent me into depression).
i was on it for two weeks and i crashed into depression (i think), and i just decided to stop taking it all together. i don't think it even took a week to get out of my system. i never went back to it or any other similar drug, and although i experience hypomania here and there, i can handle that better then i could handle being on neurontin.
i hope i covered everything.
