I've been diagnosed with depression, GAD, OCD, and social anxiety. My pdoc has me on 16 mg of Gabitril, 200 mg of Lamictal, 75 mg of Paxil CR, and 5 mg of Zyprexa. He plans on lowering the dose of Zyprexa once I'm stable on Gabitril. I was also prescribed 400 mg of Neurontin a few weeks ago, to prevent me from having seizures due to my sudden discontinuation of Xanax. My pdoc thinks that I've given up on Neurontin, but I feel that it may help my social anxiety. It is a GABA analog, and some neurons that respond to Neurontin are GABAergic. Gabitril seems to help with GAD, as it is a GABA reuptake inhibitor. I'm thinking that, considering both work on GABA...this could be a killer cocktail. Zyprexa helps minimally in regards to the OCD, but I seem to slur my speech from time to time. I also have difficulty with finding the right words to fit given situations...it's a little irritating. I'm thinking, drop Zyprexa and go for Neurontin...what do you guys think?
