i have been taking 600-900 mg of neurontin now for about 8 months,it is definitly better than depakote-that was a big mistake! i dont know exactly how well the neurontoion is working but here is waht i feel on the drug my mood swings are better under control,but my attention span seems like its gettin worse and my memory is screwed up. it does seem to have some pain killing value but i think it may be causing me headaches![0r it could be the wellbutrin i am also taking]i was doing well with my weight but all of a sudden i have just been gettin really heavy again,gaining about 1/2 to lb a day no matter what i do,i suspect the drug is starting to slow down my metabolism and im not sure but it may cause bloating also i think i may just get off the crap and try to get by in life without a mood stabilizer.the wellbutrin works well for depression and is the best one i have been on yet.i would love to get by in life without drugs period but everytime i go off antidepressants i get all screwed up,to be honest with you i really miss alchohol and tobacco but them two are the worst![sex is the best drug,but i dont seem to get laid too often anymore] anyone else have theese symtoms with neorontin?
