In reply to Anyone have experiences with these drugs????, posted by tjeffries on August 19, 2005, at 15:36:28
> Saw a new psych. dr. today, and I have had TERRIBLE luck with SSRI's, so as of now she is keeping me on klonopin, and ambien to sleep at nite, but suggested maybe in a couple months trying one of these: Neurontin, Zonegran, Gasitril, or Topamax. She seemed to lean toward the Topamax, as I have a binge eating problem, and she said there were studies showing, that Topamax, was good for that also. And that these were well tolerated drugs, as the SSRI's, I could not tolerate, due to the nausea. I would so appreciate any insight, or input regarding any experiences you had with any of these drugs. thank you so much.
Neurontin didn't help with my anxiety but it did help me fall asleep easily and calmly. I was very groggy the next morning for the first few days but that passed relatively quickly. It also helped somewhat with chronic pain. No side effects except the morning grogginess.
I haven't tried any of the others on your list.
