I am on Neurontin 300mg x 3 and I find it helps with (mild) depression, anxiety and as a (mild)mood-stabilizer. I am quite labile but not bipolar and I find this helps a lot without the water weight gain I get from Depakote. There are very few side effects, in my experience. It's probably better for cyclothymia and Borderline Personnality Disorder than for more severe bipolar disorders though. It's a good augmentation drug for anxiety but it doesn't beat Klonopin or Xanax in my opinion.
> You seem to know what you're talking about so I thought I'd ask you about Neurontin. I've read that it is helpful for anxiety, as well as mood stabilization, has anti-depressant properties, and doesn't usually cause weight gain. What do you think? Are it's anxiety/anti-depressant properties significant at all? Does it really not cause weight gain? Is it an effective mood stabilizer? Thank you.
