Well I am glad to see that neurontin/gabapentin does help some people. I take Lamictal and Gabapentin (1200) which my pdoc said was the recommended dose to take as a mood stabilizer. I did not think...

Whoa, you need to see a therapist and take something for depression. My 8 year old is also bipolar and will be re-diagnosed during puberty. scary, she takes seroquel and it helps her sleep better. I...
hmm. try taking the lamictal at night at least you wont have to take it in the morning. I take 700mg and I feel lots better by pdoc who is suppose to be an Austn expert said that in Europe they go up...
Well other than the depokate I have tried the lamictal and klonopin. I have not had slurred speech. I know that when you tell the doc's you are bipolar they think everthing is in your head. I started...
wELL I have some good news. If you happen to have ugly scars, especially keloid scars ( ones that just keep on growing thicker) well my dermatologist said she can inject cortisone at about six week...

WELL I am glad that depokate works for you except for some weird stuff -ha-ha. I read one of the side effects of neurontin are dry eyes. this is bad news for those who have had Lasik since they...
I suffer from depression also but I am not psychotic. the word psychotic scares me. Does Topamax help with the gross depression and axiety? mavila the Zebra. Bipolar II with difficult to treat...

Thanks to all of you. I went back to the dermatologist and she said it was ezema (sp). My pdoc said that it has become a common problem with his patients on Lamictal. I let him know that I did not...
I am diagnosed with Bipolar II and it is my understanding that an antidepressant alone can not provide mood stabilization. It can increase rapid cycling and mixed something. (I learned this while at...
