I am experiencing a depressed mood, anxiety, and extreme irritability. I have had the best luck with Neurontin (Gabapentin). I take 900mg per day (3 x 300). I plan to keep trying higher doses because it's the only thing that has noticeably helped.
I have a prescription for Wellbutrin, but I quit taking it because it increases my irritability some, but it DID help with energy. I have taken Topomax, Keppra, Lamictal, Depakote, and most Benzos. I took Zoloft and it seemed to help with my mood.
I'm thinking about trying Remeron, Lexapro, or Effexor. I really don't know what drug to try next. I want to decrease my anxiety, depression, and irritability, without making me lethargic like Keppra did. And I HATE sexual side effects (Zoloft had bad sexual side effects).Any ideas for a next step? I need to help my doctors because they don't seem to take much time thinking about what to do...
