> Hey...were you having anxiety as well as depression. My doc wants to lower my anti-depressant. I am scared my depression will come back! Did you have any weird side effects with neurontin? What did it help with?
I've been taking Parnate (MAOI antidepressant) to keep major depression and anxiety in remission. About 1-1/2 mos. ago, I contracted herpes zoster (shingles), with #1 symptom of severe pain. So I was prescribed neurontin for the pain. I was concerned at first about adverse interactions with Parnate, but there were none. I also had no serious side-effects from the Neurontin and it helped me sleep terrifically.So I can't vouch for this med being helpful for depression but it sure alleviated physical pain from this awful version of "adult chickenpox."
