Hi Jeffery:
Anti-seizure meds., such as Depakote, Tripetal and Lamical is for Bipolar, ... not to use for 'depression' and 'anxiety' purpose. However, one of them, Lamical has a good effect to depression, but this is ONLY if you have Bipolar. Then, any of anti-seizure meds. are out of the list.
In regard to 'Neurontin,' ... in my knowledge this med. is mostly used for 'add-on' or 'pain management,' not this med. alone therapy. Alos, Neurontin is also for Bipolar, not for 'depression,' or 'anxiety.'
I just wonder your pdoc. is faily a reputable pdoc.? The reason is because your symptoms, Depression along with Anxiety is faily serious form, ... from your several posts. Then, your problem needs EXPERT pdoc. to rule things out more accurately and precisely that is a very first step to get appropriate med. combo. However, any serious form of M.I. usually takes quite awhile for any pdoc. to research and find a right med. combo. Then, it may take more time. It's VERY hard, ... very frustrating for anyone to endure this ordeal, ... but I believe that most of folks here echoes the same senerios/story in regard to finding a right med. combo.
