> Hi Scott. Do you remember what dose you were on when the problems with Neurontin began, and do you remember how long it took for things to go from bad to worse? Were you on another mood stabilizer at the time?
I was taking Lamictal at the time.
I think a worsening of depression while taking Neurontin is time-dependent rather than dosage-dependent. I have had it happen at dosages of 900mg and 1800mg. I wish I had taken better notice of the time involved, but it was a matter of weeks rather than days or months.
The NIMH was experimenting with the combination of Lamictal + Neurontin 5 years ago with some success reported anecdotally in treating bipolar depression. I don't know if they took it upon themselves to produce a controlled study or not.
