Guest guest Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 Kris, Wow, I can't believe you were taking 1200mg of Neurontin. Considering how I felt at 300mg, I shudder to imagine being on a dose that high! When I tried Neurontin, I felt so doped up, confused, and my emotions were all over the place, changing very rapidly. Since I have bipolar disorder, that's not good! My doctor yanked me right off of it. I'm glad that Topamax helps your migraines so much. That's awesome that it reduced them so much! I was taking 400mg a day, as a mood stabilizer and for pain...it also helped me to lose the 65 pounds I'd gained on Depakote, plus a little more. I thought that was working well til I switched to Lyrica, then I was like " WOW " , this drug is great! Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to have that weight loss effect that Topamax did! I really miss that! So far, Lyrica is keeping my moods stable, and I'm keeping my fingers crossed! I'm glad to hear that you are doing so well with the Topamax/Lyrica combo. Thanks for sharing your experience with Neurontin with me as well. It's nice to know that I am not the only person who had such and ugly experience! All my best, Jen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
