> I definitely would recommend Rilutek-it has helped me with both mood and anxiety. (DX: BP, OCD and ADHD).

>I really want to have less social anxiety, depressive episodes, and mood instability.

> Don't expect it to be a mood stabilizer, rather think of it is an efficacious glutamate antagonist which will impact your anxiety. An interesting bit of info on Topamax: studies show it improves social anxiety.
>See, I'm fond about how this sounds!
> There are other ways of losing weight as well which might be a better alternative: Gabitril is a medication you mentioned before-studies show it can support weight loss. You'll also find a lot more info about Gabitril with regards to mood stabilization.
>So Gabitril > Topamax in terms of stableness but not anxiety?
> Also...About the Neurontin. I would take Lyrica instead. I found it a better mood stabilizer than Topamax.
>I was taking Lyrica 150mg. x2 but just switched to gabapentin last visit hoping it would cause less weight gain for some reason.
> Here's my cocktail: Lithium 1200, Vyvanse 70, Invega 12, Rilutek 100, Viibryd 60
