> Everyone is different, but Neurontin did nothing for me, for either depression, anxiety or diabetic peripheral neuropathy (none of which it's actually been FDA approved for, though when it was still on patent I've read that the manufacturers were (illegally) pushing it for practically everything under the sun). I think there have been studies that show it does NOT help with bipolar. At least (for me), no side effects though, at doses up to 1800 mg/day, then some dizziness and cognitive problems. Cecilia
Thanks Cecilia. After reading the replies and other posts on the board I'm really having my doubts about this med - I know I've only just begun taking it, but God, I've already wasted so much time not getting the proper care, I don't want to waste any more time by being treated with meds that have such a high failure rate.
Problem is that the pdocs generally have you on so many meds at once, how do you know which ones are working and which ones aren't? Any suggestions?
