I have always taken an antidepressant with lamictal as a mood stabilizer and it has worked well. I've been doing this for about fifteen years and have had to change my other meds on a few occasions, so a change in meds is not that strange, but not taking my normal meds is. What happened is my docs had to change my pain meds. They gave me Gabapentin, or Neurontin, which is supposed to be an effective med for bp. Does anyone know anything about this. I have been moody since the hospital, but it could just be nerves. I am scared of getting back in that space and I think I am being overly vigilant.
