Bipolar Disorde
"Without going into excessive detail, I&#039;ve been on Lamictal for about 5 years. Tried anti-psychotics (almost all) but could not handle the weight gain from them. Recently I realized that as great as Lamictal is, I needed to add an anti-psychotic and just deal with weight gain. But my psychiatrist suggested I try Gabapentin before anything else. I&#039;m only on 600 mg a day (been on it for 4 days), and I know my body is still adjusting to it, so this might be a hasty review... but it&#039;s given me a calming feel, helped a little with racing thoughts, but I feel &quot;high,&quot; at times like I&#039;d drank a lot of codeine. It definitely makes you loopy, but I&#039;m just gonna see how it goes. Just give it a try if you&#039;re Bipolar I and don&#039;t want the anti-psychotics."
