> Oddly, the first day I took neurontin at 300 mgs. was the best I had felt, but thus it has gone away. Weird...same thing with 4 days of zyprexa.
> Symptoms:
> Anhedonia
> Irritable
> Dysphoric states
> Major depression cycling between mild depression
> Mild to moderate hypomanic periods, which drop into depression
> Social Phobia/anti-social that looks like irritability/avoidance

I'm ramping up Lamictal (now 250mg) & have just added 900mg/Neurontin. I'll let you know how it goes. Nothing as yet.
