I am also on Neurontin, but for chronic pain. I have talked to my doctor about a medication to make some of this stuff go away, and we tried small doses of antipsychotic medications such as Serequel and Ambilfy. I think these are the ones. I could not function on less than the minimal dose; just zonked me out. Then I tried Risperidone, and it seemed to be working until I had an adverse reaction to it with slurred speech, confusion, stiff and sore muscles, stopping sentences in the middle and not ever realizing it. Fortunately I was on vacaton when this happened. The next thing was to try adding Lamictal, but I just wanted off the Parnate as it did not seem to be working anymore. Guess it was working some because I am becoming really depressed. Off the Parnate, I think there might be more options, but I am not sure. I will let you know when I see my pdoc on the 21st.
